You can build trellising cages for you container and ground planted vegetables by using 14 gauge metal fencing. It is easier than you think and it will save you a lot of money. This cage is great for tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peas, zucchini, squash, melons and more. You can extend the cage easily to 6 feet with bamboo poles or the like.

Do you ever grow hydroponic
No ch bhi no no ch bhi bhi ch piggyp
Brilliant! Couple things you might consider Mr. Gary. Wrap the bucket in the wire after the pots are filled and planted. In this way, you can plant anything and alter whether or not it has a trellis in the future. With your hand holes, just cut the wire in the middle and bend all 4 prongs back. This way, you have no sharp edges or future maintenance. You hand simply brushes the smooth bend. I've tore up my hands WAY too many times on cages. I hate adding things to someone's channel cause I don't want to steal someone's thunder, but sometimes I think helping is worth the chance. You always have great ideas.
Genius.
Hydroponic Gardening & More with Brent funny that you would say that, I was thinking the same thing. Why not just cut in the middle? you can always unbend one of the wires to connect or attach to the bent one for storage. I don't think he will object to your suggestion this is what it's all about. Someone has to start with an idea and then a lot of us can brainstorm off of that.
OMGG cutting the wire and folding back is such a simple idea but brilliant.
Ahh I wish I watched this before I bought all my tomato cages!! Your awesome thanks!
18 gauge is actually thinner than 14 gauge, as the gauge goes down the diameter increases. A pair of wire cutters ( aka angle cutters or dikes) should work just fine, or tin snips like he's using in the video. Also most pliers should be able to cut through wire just fine
Oh LOL I ask the Home Depot fellow. Anyway they did work.
You can sharpen the up and take out any nicks in the blades. Not a big deal.
BTW - I prefer flush cutters to bypass or anvil. I also use a grinder on most wire, but not on this type so much.

yes, I went to the store instead, I found a pretty sturdy tomatoes trellises, it was so thick I needed someone to cut the bottom of them sticks with pretty long and sturdy at Lowe’s Thank you so much for all of your help. I really appreciate this video. Happy planting.!😍👩🏾🦲🥰

I like this idea! I live in North Dakota, and it can get hella windy up here, with 40-50 mph gusts happening. I like a good strong base. I'm also glad i took the time to harden off my peppers so they have a good headstart to being outside.
Looks better than the ready made, tapered variety that always manages to get crooked. Good info, thanks.
u can buy buy better quality ready made and its fine mine don't bend... when they stack up its easy for storage
Truly appreciate your videos ! Thank you ! ❤️

Wow, what a fantastic idea for inexpensive tomato cages!! I was going to buy expensive cages online, but I will make my own cages like yours. I just found that my local Home Depot carries the exact same wires you used. I am excited to make many more cages for much lower price. Thank you!
Check out the thickness of the wire too. A bit thicker might make them last longer.
Excellent! Thank you!!
Great vid. Just what I need for my Cuke's & Tomatoes.
Good luck!

Thank you so much, I want to grow vegetables this summer but only have very small, limited space, also buying trellis can be expensive and I don't have a lot of money to buy them so I will make my own trellis to grow few vegetables this way! I'm excited for all this snow to melt, for spring to come and start my tiny bitty vegetable garden!
True make your own and good luck!

So happy you and Kim are doing the coast to coast. I've been watching her awhile now. But I live in Jersey. So there are different diseases and bugs we deal with. Nice to find you through her. So far been very wet out. N I live in swamp so keep finding snakes in garden lol. Finally started garden yesterday. We have clay so gotta work it when wet. I like the cage thing. But u definitely were more detailed. Keep it up and I am now subscribed with noti's on. Great work ;-)

Because of my dog 🐕 I bought lots of fencing. I built the trellis around my containers and grow bags they work great and last forever. My raised bed I had to enclose to so that made it easy to trellis vegetables all along the perimeter . I left one side open so I could still work and grew marigolds in the middle. They're small beds. Even the plots are fenced with the Home Depot fencing and post. So no more dog destroyed beds from burying bones. I made her a small bed and added some compost she loves to roll in it and now she has her own garden spot. I said to my sister I think I'm going to add 2 more raised beds and fence them. She said is Tallulah the dog gonna have any yard left.
That is very cool.

Thank you for sharing. This video saved my plants and money. This is an amazing reference video. Your channel is an encyclopaedia for gardening. 🍇🥕🥦🥬
Great idea I do the same thing but with chicken wire I had.BUT for watermelons I want to do vertical so may try 14 gauge. Thank you
Thank you for this very informative video. I wish we have these materials here cause Ive not seen many of these kinds of plant cages/trellises/stakes anywhere. I have to check and hope that when I do finally start my own homestead theyll be available already.

I'm glad I saw this before getting cages. I wonder how well it would work for strawberries paired with some landscaping fabric now... 🤔
That would work. I have kicked tried something similar in the past.

regardless the math, the idea is solid. thanks for the idea!
I used to make cages this way but I found that for my usage they rusted out to soon, were hard to pick fruit through, and got bent easily. Rewire that they use in concrete pours is a lot heavier (you need bolt cutters to cut through it), has six inch openings, will last for decades without rusting through. I wouldn't bury the light weight cages in the soil or they won't last but one or two seasons as the soil and nutrients will rust them to pieces. You can purchase fiber glass rods in different lengths to use as stakes and they will last indefinitely. Push them into the soil to support the cages. I use them as stakes in my greenhouse and tie plants directly to the stakes. Beats having to replace all the stakes every season since I simply reuse them year after year. You can buy bundles of 25 pretty reasonably.
Yeah of you go to thicker gauge wire that helps but takes some work. Thanks for the tips.

Great tips! I'm growing my first tomato plant & it grew out of the big cage quick. Will buy some of this next year...
IT is good problem to have. Good luck.
For our DIY tomato cages, we've found it works better for us to use welded wire fencing with a 4 in. x 4 in. mesh, rather than the 4 in. x 2 in. mesh that is more widely available. That way, there's no need to cut hand holds to facilitate harvesting/tending the plants. The plants can be accessed relatively freely through the mesh. Once the cage is in place, while the tomato is still young, if it starts to fall over I use tomato clips to support the plants with twine tied toward the top of the cage, holding the tomato upright and centered in the cage. This works much better for me than placing a pole in the center when I first plant our tomatoes. We use these for all our cherry and determinate tomatoes.
For our indeterminate slicer tomatoes, we use a low cost (

I know this is an older video but I can’t thank you enough! I built 2 of these today and have 9 more to go! I do have a question to see if you think just making a “C" go in the bucket instead of a full circle but then use string/twine to sort of lace it with a larger front opening instead of fastening with the cut wire would work. So maybe instead of cutting off a piece at 35", maybe do 31"… it would still mostly surround the bucket. I saw this done with a heavier wire and t-posts around an EarthBox but with pepper plants….It was surrounded on 3 sides and left the front open with twine zig-zagging across the front from bottom to top. I’m wondering if the same concept could work with the buckets and these cages.
Good stuff gary! I always look for different ways to support my veggie plants without having to buy the expensive tomato cages. I never knew if using different materials could effect the vegetable (plastics, or different metals). How about plastic containers? I like how you use 5 gal buckets. I seen people using storage totes. I can get a 10-13 gallon tote for like 5 bucks but i didnt know if the plastic would effect the veggies like people talk about using treated wood vs untreated. Also what about cheap containers from like the dollar store (containers not meant to be pots)?
I don't personal pay much mind for treated wood. It is copper treated for the last 15 years or so, not arsenic. The plastic can be an issue but I think it is stretch. The UV rays are what degrade plastic and can cause issue. That is occurring on the outside and not at the inside, as soil blocks it. You can use large turkey bags to line 5 gallon buckets too if you are concerned.
Trellis for roses
Beginner question from TH ; Will the cage be too hot during the day to the plant and leaves ?
What is the fencing wire made of? I’m worried about intro I have heavy metals ( LEAD, ALUMINUM) to my soil.
I just got ur chanel n subscribed from Bangladesh
Thanks. I love interacting with gardeners from around the globe.
Very educational Gary, thanks. Do you (or anyone) have a suggestion for keeping possums and squirrels from climbing in through the top? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

The smaller the number, the thicker the wire! Otherwise, great video!
Yep I messed up
To avoid creating sharp burrs on wires, cut them partially with a tool, and then bend them to snap them. A sheet of sandpaper can also be helpful.

One nice thing about being such a failure in the garden...I'll never have to worry about cages or trellises!
Its all in the soil. Im s first time gardener, I used a 4x4x12 raised bed. Got 7 50qt bags of raised bed soil. Put in the sunniest spot. My husband has grown in containers all his life but hardly got any tomatoes or anything. I got 7 or 9 ft tall vines. He's never had that, even with his parents garden. Its the soil I think. I knew nothing at all and it had nothing to do with me.
Good morning !! What size pot is that you are showing and using with the tomatoe plant that you almost broke with the cage when it fell over,,lol? Great video as usual.
Those are 5 gallons that is bronze looking. The larger one is 10-12 gallon I think. ***Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com/ I currently have a sale on for 43 packs of seeds (tomatoes, peppers, cool weather crops) for well under $1 a pack. Plus a ton of other stuff. Thanks!
Also, I always use a tool called Kleins, Which are electrical wire cutters and pliers in one! This way you will not have to ruin your snips!
Also, you should have gotten yellow handled snips if you were going to do that because yellow is straight and right is red, yellow is left! That's the way that snips work!
Thanks. You can see Im just a gardener
Gary Pilarchik you may just be a gardener, but you are very thorough and very informative for people that may be starting a garden! I, on the other hand cannot be so detail oriented! Good job!
Great video as always. As duct tape will eventually break down, you could use needle nose pliers to loop the wire around in a circle so the the sharp part meets wire so you won't get stuck.
Good idea
Gary- How much space do you recommend (in bucket/ container) for the roots for a 4 ft tomato plant?
To be save 7-10 gallon. Ive grown them in 5 gallons and it works but recquires more watering.
Where did you get the fencing & about how much did it cost.
Hi Gary I love all your videos.Except this one. many years ago I made these exact cages.same wire.They were great until i had to put my hands through the holes to tend to plants or pick fruit.i had cuts and scraps all over my arms.Even though i covered tbe sharp cut ends i used duct tape,cauck,all kinds of stuff it would always fall off. this cage is just too dangerous i ended up flattening them out and never used them again.so just to let you know my experance with them. But thankyou Gary for all your other informative and great videos.
LOL that is fair enough! Thanks for following.
concrete reinforcement wire don't have his problem the holes are big and the cages last forever.
Thank you for this informative video. My question is, for these wires, wouldn't they get too hot for the plants when the weather is really hot?
Tina Jumayao the wire is small enough it doesn't have the mass to really heat up. I work with fencing like this all day and after sitting in the sun for countless hours there is no discernable change in temperature
Thank you so much for the info.
Yep
I’ve used that fence before but you can’t get your hand in there so you can cut out every other wire but then you have to take the chance of grinding it too otherwise you can slice your fingers and hand and bleed
True. Some has smaller holes, so I have cut out spaces. But you can find it with bigger hand sized holes too.

how do you prune with the cage around plant
You can get wire with a bigger space or clip out a wire here and there and it lets your hand in.
Gary, with wire, the larger the number the smaller the diameter. 14 gauge is heavier than 18 gauge.

These are nice, but the advantage of buying those tapered tomato cages (as you show in the video) is that they fit into each other very easily so they take up much less space when they are stored over the winter.
The 4-5 foot cages are a bit expensive. This is cheaper but the standard tomato cages work perfectly fine as I used them for years and still use them. You can also by fencing that has larger holes.
NunOfYourBiz you can taper by overlapping one end a few inches
you can also just open the cages and store them as sheets, like under a cupboard, would save much more space. also it gets easier if you tie the to ends of the cages with cable ties. you can just snip them off when you want to store them!
Nice informative. Can we use a non welded wire
Yep
Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) thank you mr.gary. I will start my work for beans bitter guard using non welded wire . It’s way cheaper than the welded mesh
As wire gage number gets smaller the wite gets thicker. Meaning 00 gage is almost 1 inch think the higher the number the thinnwr the wire so have fun cutting 14 gage wire with a tool only rated for 18 gage which is thinner then 14
True. I messed up.
Please visit my seed and garden shop for all your neem, peppermint & rosemary oil, seeds, seed starting needs and more. www.therustedgarden.com. Thanks.
How do I make my own compost I know what to put in it but are there things you shouldn't? oh yeah thank you for video I have spent over $50 so far on cages wish I would be seen this video sooner 😊😊
Just veggie scraps and egg shells. Basically no meats. Rotate greens and browns like grass and leaves.
Onions and citrus aren’t great for compost either. Worms for some reason don’t do well with those
buy wire with bigger holes no cutting. concrete reinforcement wire. cages will last 30 years or more

When it comes to wire gauge, the smaller the number, the larger the wire. You have cutters designed for smaller wire than you bought.
Yep I messed up but I did ask the HD guy LOL I will blame him.
Where can i buy the wire in Frederick, Md ?
Home Depot or Lowes.
Should the fencing be galvanized
It can be. Some worry about it. It is really up to you

Basic tomato cages
This is going to sound like a silly question, but exactly does the cage support the tomato plant?
The vines flop over if the aren tied to a stake. The cage can be used to weave the vines through and up.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you for the quick reply... Ahhh,.now I understand!😂
How would u pick a larger tomato? Looks like wire openings are too small.
The vid show cutting holes for your hands.
buy concrete reinforcement wire instead of that stuff and no hole cutting needed
Will these cages be wide enough for indeterminate tomatoes in a 5 gallon bucket?
You can adjust the size.

the issue i see with this is once the plant is enclosed and grows tall within the cage how is it possible to put granular fertilizer around the base of the plant because the gaps between the cage will be to small to put a digging tool through unless after the cage has been put up then cut gaps in the bottom of the wire big enough so that a garden tool can pass through to enable the cultivation of the soil
Good point.

Gary, would this cage method work with the wicking system you displayed in other video?
Yep.
How much was the wire?
That was $35 and it will make 16 cages for 5 gallon buckets. And they are 4 foot tall and able to take extensions.
How much does the fencing cost?
Varies on how much you buy but not that expensive. IT will vary. So check out like Home Depot and see what they have.

I'm pretty sure the lower the number the gauge the thicker the wire. 18 gauge is thinner than 14 gauge. So your cutter is wrong.
