Tomato ladders (similar to tomato cages) are great for smaller spaces -- like raised container beds -- because they help the plant grow up rather than out.
The flimsy $1.99 variety that I tried last year, required lots of triage with bamboo, twine and pieces of a trellis - it got pretty ugly. I found IKEA Salvia trellises on clearance last year for $3. So here is the concept of a tomato ladder using pieces of the trellis.
Each ladder uses 6 Salvia trellis squares (there are 9 squares in a pack).

I love this use of materials. They are sturdy pieces of metal for the price you got them for. Any other time such metal pieces would be expensive.

Nice - looks quite sturdy, without the problems of a full cage enclosure!
