Tomato Cage with PVC

Tomato cages always seem to be too small, too flimsy and simply, not enough for the indeterminate tomato plants I grow.  This year I decided to make a 3-D PVC grid to support my tomato plants.  My final cost was about $55.  The tomato portion of my garden is roughly 6'X7'.  Since your garden will probably have different dimensions, your cuts will be different lengths than mine.

Step 1 What you will need

For my garden, I needed
---21-10' pieces of 1/2" PVC pipe
---8 -X shaped PVC connectors for 1/2" PVC
---38 -T shaped PVC connectors for 1/2" PVC
---a tape measure
---duct tape
---a marker, such as a sharpie
---an electric saw of some sort (I used a miter saw)
