I use a mixture of rebar and T-posts for stakes and hay twine. The Florida Weave looks a lot better organized than my criss-cross strings. I really like the cow panel idea @Ridgerunner !!!!

Me, too.
I've imagined that tying to a fence would be about best - even though I have never done it ... @Ridgerunner has taken the idea a step farther.

farther? further? a step beyond!

Hey, @HotPepperQueen , how did your Florida Weave work out once they set fruit? I'm really needing a better solution for these Romas and San Marzanos. Stuff that bears that heavily won't stay up on a stake. What a mess!

We have the Dickiebird sprawl happening, even though we put cages and stakes around each plant. As soon as they got tall and started to bear fruit, over they went. What a mess. Now you can't walk in the pathways without stepping on plant or tomato! I am wondering, too how the Florida weave held up.

Make that 3 people now I look like I'm stepping on Legos or walking through a bunch of large sleeping predatory animals as I tip toe through the garden trying not to step on tipped over maters

Sure am glad that I put straw down under all the 'maters, 'cuz they're all laying on the ground. I did get my first tomatoes of the year this morning. Not ripe, but ready to ripen inside. Two pear, two minute cherry, and three other varieties. I haven't checked to see what varieties I harvested.
Lucky me, with the raised beds I don't need to tip-toe, just walk around a pick.

@Smart Red even with raised beds they have managed to fall out of the beds and sprawl in the aisle.
