I don't much like the stake em method. Best are really sturdy cages. I also use those somewhat flimsy green coated wire triangle cages. And I have some 54 inch tall round wire cages. The round wire ones smaller than those are totally useless for tomatoes. Though they do work for peppers.

I do Florida Weave many plants cause I simply can not get enough cages no matter how many cages I have.
