The Best Way To Support Tomatoes - DIY Tomato Supports!

Season 4 · Episode 402

mardi 2 avril 2024 • Duration 20:59

If you are looking for the best way to support your tomato plants this year without spending a fortune - today's episode covers how to create the perfect DIY solution that can hold the biggest of plants without worry!

Jim and Mary walk listeners through the simple steps to build strong and sturdy tomato supports that make growing tomatoes easier than ever. And best of all - not only will they last for years and years, they are quite inexpensive to build too!
