How To Support Tomatoes Planted In A Growbag
Support your growing tomatoes before they grow too large
You will need:
- Growbag cane support
- canes - 180cm (6’)
- soft string
Place the cane support underneath the growbag and place the canes through the appropriate slots and push into the compost about 5cm (2”) away from the tomato stem.
Tie in the tomato with soft string as it grows.
Support the tomato before it becomes too large as if the growbag is outdoors the wind will soon snap the stems.

Daughter of a farmer so always used to producing something from the earth,
whether it was animals or garden produce. Along with my work at Hayes Garden World I also have a smallholding,
mainly breeding rare breed pigs. I also keep a few hens and grow vegetables for my own personal use.
I gained a BSc in Conservation and Environmental Land Management.
As a result of this I have a keen interest in environmentally friendly gardening.
