Cleaning the Tomato Cages

Make sure your tomato cages are clean and free of tags. Paint them if you wish or leave them plain. Rust could add an interesting element to the look, but if your tomato cages have rust and you don’t want it, brush it away with a wire brush.

Fastening the Tomato Cages

Stack the tomato cages together and twist them so that the vertical wires of the top cage are lined up between the vertical wires of the bottom cage creating a more divided grid.
