Tomatoes need to be supported as they grow to prevent disease and fungus. UT Assistant Professor of Residential and Consumer Horticulture, Natalie Bumgarner, shows how to use the Florida weave method to hold up tomato plants. The Florida weave – also called the California weave or basket weave – uses twine strung between stakes to hold up the tomato plants. Natalie talks about different post and twine options. She shows how to tie the twine to support the tomatoes and gives pointers on tying the tomatoes up.
