To Construct One Cage:

Start by placing the 3 spiked lengths of tube into ground in a triangular formation roughly 30cm apart

To keep the cages strong and in a triangle shape, take the hooked clips and connect 2 tubes together (at this point you may have to move the stakes around to get the hooks in place)

      How To Use The Twist Ties

      Twist ties are used for securing the tomato plants to the cage, so as they grow they will be secure and not put too much pressure on one part of the cage
      • Identify the part of the plant that needs tying off 
      • Pull a length of the tie out and pull it down in the blade to slice
      • Tie the stalk of the plant to the outer edge of the cage and then twist together to tie

           

           

          How To Use The Plant Tags

          plant_tags

          We often use it to help identify the type of tomato or other plant and also the date that we sewed it in
          • Write the type of plant and date sewed in using a permanent marker
          • Tie to the cage using a twist tie or garden string

            • I purchased one of your Tomato cages. The instructions only show the tri-cage. Can you post the instructions on how to assemble the stands that look like TeePees and Tents shown on the Amazon website? I am planting zucchini and squash and would like to assemble the tent or the trellis design you show on your box.
