My method of using hog panel provides easy access and super support for tomatoes, squash, beans, and gourds alike. I also pile on the straw for moisture retention and weed control.
Just read a newer post and came across yours one via Google Images. Not much space here at my mom's house but I found 8'x50" panels for under $15 at the local TSC. Very tempting considering I have posts in the garage.
