What happens here
Weave the tomato vines through the openings of the concrete mesh. Unlike cucumbers, tomatoes do not have tendrils, so they will need direct support. Use zip ties to create loose loops around the main stems of the tomato plants and attach them to the mesh. This loose connection allows for growth and prevents girdling of the stem. Continue adding zip ties as the plants grow taller to support their weight and encourage upward growth.
Goal: Guide tomato vines to grow within and up the trellis structure.
