Busy Teach |
| The poles were too short for tomatoes and needed an additional brace to support weight distribution. I had to add modifications to support my system. |

I like the previous componets better than the current selection. |
| The new staking system with only 2 tees leaves a lot to be desired. For tomatoes I cut one tube in half to make the second tier of support closer to the first. The netting is a poor choice for tomatoes but fine for peas. |

Not as good w/o the middle aluminum tube |
| I recently purchase this staking system and found it different from the ones I purchased a year ago. These new ones do not have the sturdy aluminum tube in the middle and now I find that my tomato plants do not have the support that they need. The sturdy middle tube is greatly needed. I have to spend more money to get connectors and an aluminum tube to see if I can attach an aluminum tube in the middle. |

Excellent for tomatoes |
| We did our tomatoes and cucumbers with the staking system and are we glad we did. We live in the Pacific Northwest and the sun here is limited. The tomatoes on the system lasted much longer and the cover we bought to keep them warm did the trick, into early fall we had tomatoes. We also had a lot of cucumbers that got nice and big AND they were very easy to find and pick. I would highly recommend! |
