Linda,

I didn't want something as permanent as concrete in this part of the garden. The T-posts are driven into the ground thru ground cloth/weed barrier. At some later date I may need to lay mulch down on the ground cloth for durability.

The 1/4" wire panels are held to the posts with the normal t-post clips used to attach barbed wire, two clips per post.

As this is my first year growing in bags, if heat becomes a problem for the plant's roots, the base of the cages will be boxed in with corrugated tin and filled with straw. This is a work in progress.

I have used this cage setup in the past for tomatoes growing in the ground and it worked well.
