The best way to put tomatoes on the shelf is the inverted V-shape.

Inverted V-shape is a common method for planting tomatoes in the open air, and it is also an ideal scaffolding method. The operation is very simple, that is, two wooden sticks are inserted together in an inverted V shape and fixed with ropes.

if you are worried that it is not stable enough, the lower part and the intersection can also be tied and fixed on the adjacent shelves with wooden sticks. Or directly insert three columns in an inverted triangle distribution, which is also a very stable way.

in addition, you can choose grape trellis type. This scaffolding method is the same as that of the vineyard, but it is relatively laborious, so it is generally only suitable for large-scale planting, not suitable for home planting or small-scale planting. However, this method has many advantages, such as convenient picking, good ventilation and light transmission, and so on.

Reasons for tomato scaffolding

Tomato is a creeping herb with underdeveloped xylem. When it is young, it can grow upright because of light burden. With the increase of leaves and the appearance of flowers and fruits, the stem can't afford to crawl, which affects the ventilation and light transmission of tomato, and the landing pests and diseases are serious. Therefore, it is necessary to erect vines to improve its growth environment.

when the seedlings grow to about 15-3 cm, they can be erected, but it should not be too late. If it is too late, the stems will be long and there will be many lateral vines, which will easily break the vines and hurt the leaves. The scaffolding materials of tomatoes can be made from local materials, such as bamboo, straw, willow, poplar and cotton branches. The length of scaffolding varies according to different cultivation methods. Elevated cultivation should be longer, generally about 1 meter long, and 7 centimeters long for cutting cultivation.
