[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4434728, member: 6230"] thats a florida weave, market growers use it at typically 2 stakes per plant. commercial growers for the cannery let them sprawl but they use a harvesting machine and pick green. i use 8 ft wood stakes with jute string but i space my plants 3 to 4ft for the indeterminates, prune the bottom 6 in of suckers and bottom leaves. then i keep 4-6 inches of wheat straw mulch under the plants. this keeps the soil from splashing up on the leaves and keeps the soil moisture consistent. soil splashing, inconsistent watering and poor air circulation are the main cause of tomato diseases.
