I have two spirals per pot, one per tomato plant. It's not ideal, but it's the best I could come up with. Free with the purchase of every Grow Box comes one big, fat bummer- no (decent) external support for the really big tomato plants they grow.ilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772649648781578752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797140174605400944.post-51309218466350537702009-05-30T23:17:00.795-04:002009-05-30T23:17:00.795-04:00Great article!

Does each pot have 2 bamboo polls and one spiral stake tied together at the top? What is the advantage of the spiral?Tamra Stallingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492542213799211525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797140174605400944.post-12200193241763081412009-05-30T00:11:26.517-04:002009-05-30T00:11:26.517-04:00I'll bet you get your acre and more .... keep farm...I'll bet you get your acre and more .... keep farming!RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797140174605400944.post-18647868255618272032009-05-29T23:02:31.428-04:002009-05-29T23:02:31.428-04:00Congratulations on this nice article.

My frames aren't perfect, but the cages are great! They work well for vining curcubits, too. I use them in all my big pots now.ilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772649648781578752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797140174605400944.post-88222944572050145092009-05-28T15:14:53.685-04:002009-05-28T15:14:53.685-04:00Sweeeeeet!
