Why You Should Stake Your Tomatoes?

There are beneficial reasons as to why you should use stakes to grow your tomatoes.

Staking tomato plants helps support the weight of the plants. Tomato plants with growing big, juicy tomatoes are heavy and need additional support to prevent toppling and breaking of stems and rotting tomatoes in the soil. Staking tomatoes also helps to ripen tomatoes faster and is proven to produce bigger and better tomatoes.

I love picking fresh tomatoes off the vine, there is nothing better.

How To Stake Tomatoes

This method goes way back and is quite simple. Tomato stakes are made of wood, plastic or even bamboo.

Place the stake in the ground about 8 inches deep and approximately 3 inches from the stem of the tomato plant.

As the plant grows, tie the plant to the stake. You can use twine, or zip ties.

Make sure the tie is secure to hold the weight of the plant but not cutting into the plant.

As the plant grows, continue to tie it to the stake

Keep the plant trimmed as it grows to one or two stems

Do You Use Tomato Stakes?

  • Pastiche Jul 24, 2011 @ 10:49 pm | delete
    I use the tomato towers or I make my own from bamboo poles. It's July and my tomatoes are 7 feet tall, loaded with fruit ... can't wait to eat my organic tomatoes fresh from the vine and also to make my own oven dried tomates. YUM.
