By the way, I do not use any tomato cages because they all
underperform and make a mess in the yard in the off season.

I welded some 6 ft tall supports that I pounded into the ground, put
2x4s on them along the length of the garden, and tie little vertical
1x2s to the 2x4s.

I tie tomato plants to the 1x2s with insulation tape.

Works really great.
