NEW ULM — For those in New Ulm with green thumbs, the Community Garden at 1915 South Valley Street is getting ready for another year of planting and growing. As the warmer weather approaches, gardeners are eagerly preparing their plots for the upcoming growing season. One essential tool for any garden is the gardening stake, a simple yet effective tool that can make a big difference in the health and productivity of your plants.
Gardening stakes are used to provide support for plants that may be prone to bending or falling over as they grow. This is particularly important for tall or heavy plants such as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. By staking these plants, you can help them grow upright, allowing for better air circulation and sunlight exposure, which can lead to healthier plants and bigger harvests.
Learn how to stake tomatoes to help you grow healthier plants, save garden space, and harvest more from your garden. By properly staking your tomato plants, you can prevent them from sprawling on the ground, which can lead to disease and pest issues. Staking also helps to keep the fruit off the ground, reducing the risk of rotting and making it easier to harvest.
Tomato cages are a popular tool for gardeners growing their own produce. These coned trellises help to support the tomato plant and keep its fruit off the ground. They are easy to install and can be reused season after season. Additionally, tomato cages allow for better air circulation around the plant, which can help prevent diseases such as blight.
The best tomato cages support plants for maximum yield. This guide presents top picks and tips for choosing the right tomato cages. Look for sturdy cages made of materials like galvanized steel or heavy-duty plastic. Consider the size of your tomato plants and choose cages that are tall enough to support them as they grow. Place the cages around the plants early in the season to provide support as they start to grow.
In September 2014, I had grown tomatoes in a raised bed for two seasons. I had tried supporting the plants with stakes and with a variety of cages, but I found that using sturdy metal cages yielded the best results. The plants were healthier, produced more fruit, and were easier to harvest. Investing in quality tomato cages is a worthwhile investment for any gardener looking to maximize their harvest.
