How our Veggie Cage Plant Supports Work

The Veggie Cage is entirely different from the standard wire tomato cages that most people are familiar with, and they work in a completely unique way.

 

This revolutionary tomato cage, expands to a whopping 7 feet high & still easily manages the weight of tomato, vegetable or flower plants, and tomato cage color blends right in.

 

A tomato cage that requires no tying and can be securely fastened to a stake so that it won’t blow over in a storm. It collapses flat and requires virtually no storage room in the off season.

 

Right out of the box, the Veggie Cage appears to be very flexible, even "springy".  You may wonder, "How can a flexible tomato cage hold up a full-grown tomato plant?"  Don't let the flexibility of the Veggie Cage fool you.  The ingenious design of the Veggie Cage allows it to work by holding up the plant and all those tomatoes side-to-side instead of up-and-down.  If you were to slide your forearms up inside the Veggie Cage rings and press outward, you'd see how rigid the coils suddenly become.  This is exactly how it works in your garden. 

 

The main branches of the tomato plant lean out against the inside of the rings, and the Veggie Cage becomes "one" with the plant.  What's more, the flexibility of the empty Veggie Cage allows it to be stored nearly flat at the end of the season.  With every other tomato cage you must choose between strength and flexibility. You need only to flip it upside-down to relax it back into its flat shape for extremely compact storage.

 

As your young plants begin to grow, you'll want to give them a little "guidance" by tucking the main branches into the coils as soon as they are tall enough to reach them.  Thereafter, you should take a look at your plants about once each week, to make sure that none of the branches are growing outside of the Veggie Cage rings.  Any loose branches should simply be tucked inside the nearest coil.  As the plant gets taller and fuller, you will need to do this less and less. 

 

By the way, the Veggie Cage is wonderful for growing lots of other plants, like snow peas, pole beans, clematis, dahlias, etc.  For ideas on how to use the Veggie Cage for more than just a tomato cage, click here.
