this could be used for a lot of veggies like squash, melons etc. living in Fla there are more bugs than you can count! this will keep the produce safer without poison! when it gets hot you can build a higher one with screen to shade the plants protecting from sun burn.

OMG. I wish I thought of this at the beginning of tomatoe season. I can see exactly how this works. My tomato plants are all hanging heavy where the cages did not contain. Thank you.

what is it used for is the question, does it hold the tomatoes or just cover the ground with plastic mesh? or is it suspended above the ground, is it to shade the plans? here we need as much sun as we can get so why to shade the tomatoes?
Thanks!

This has two purposes
ONE:
To hold tomato plants up so you don't have to individually stake each plant

TWO:
Keeps Fruit from setting on the ground witch makes them rot

and what the guy said below all those things
thanks fegundez1

Its a 8 foot square, you just reach around from all sides, i have no trouble reaching them. You can check out my other instructable about my garden and how i planted the plants.
