Me personally, I make tomato cages. (Concrete irons of 10 and large galvanized steel)
A little inspired by the model presented on the Kokopelli book, but reworked in my own way
Does it take a little or more space? Do you easily pick tomatoes? Easy storage?
I will take a photo (it will be more meaningful).
Let's say that I don't find that it takes up more space. In fact, I think (but not sure either) that it allows the branches and stems to open up, to move apart a bit, the tomato plant is less tight (smothered, constrained, confined) against a single central stake or a unique guide.
The air circulates and it ventilates better I find.
This is the third year that I practice this way.
From time to time, all you have to do is re-guide, re-orient inside the cage, the few tomato stalks that want to pack up while growing.
