Without the proper support, a tomato plant can end up spreading and growing, but still not yielding to its maximum capacity. When this happens, it can become more difficult to care for in other ways.
Have you ever tried to weed a garden with unsupported produce? It’s a mess! When tomatoes aren’t supported with a trellis, it is also more difficult to harvest. Harvesting can quickly turn into a treasure hunt when your tomatoes are growing without support.
Benefits of a Mesh Trellis
When you build a Mesh Trellis you not only give your tomato plants plenty of support, but the trellis itself is easy to take down and store for the next garden. The fruit is easily accessible, and weeding is not a monumental task.
Benefits of the String Method Trellis
When you build a trellis with strong wire mesh supported by electrical conduit, you create a friendlier garden environment for yourself and your tomatoes. One advantage to building this type of tomato trellis is that the tomatoes are very easy to reach. This method also makes weeding easier.
So in general, growing on a tomato trellis has a great deal of benefits for your garden!
