what's the verdict?

Hi all

I have been reading several posts for the last couple of days about cattle/stock/hog panel arch trellises in the vegetable garden. I love this idea and am definitely going to try it on my pole beans and cucumbers. But I haven't heard how well they work for tomatoes. Would anyone be willing to share their personal experience with makeing arches out of these panels to trellis tomatoes on? How close do you plant them together and what do you plant underneath the arch if anything? Thanks a bunch and thanks for humoring me--I know this is a much debated topic. Have a great day!

Marie

Hi Marie,

They work fine for tomatoes, but they aren't cheap for this utility. Look at the bottom of this link posted below.
