Jason S. said: (quoted from post at 17:24:29 09/28/14) This year I had 96 tomato plants out. It got to be a bit time consuming tying each plant up individually. I don't think that cages would be the answer either but I could be wrong. How do some of you tie up massive amounts of plants? I did try putting in T post and running rope between them and letting the tomatoes hang on them. It didn't seem to work to well for me. I'm just planning ahead for next year. Thanks for all your help.
There has been some really good ideas and help in this. I really appreciate it. I'm actually planning on going even bigger next year on the garden. I had 96 tomato plants, 60 cucumber plants, I planted 300lbs of potatoes,and had 3/4 acre of Ambosia sweet corn this year,along with watermelons,canteloupe,green beans,pinto beans,cabbage,lettuce,peppers,sweet potatoes,pumpkins and I forget what else. I give most of the stuff away to the older members of my family that can't get out there and raise big gardens anymore. But between trying to keep up with a garden that size, canning and freezing everything that comes out of it,baling hay,and everything else you can see why I had to come up with a better (faster) way to support them. The south wind here gets very strong at times coming down the valley and I have had some tomato plants get broken...stakes and all from the wind. These were tobacco sticks I had them tied too. Once again thank you for your help.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
