Tomato Fort!

So we have one tomato tree, and every time the tomatoes are ready they have been picked to pieces by birds. So i made it my mission to build out own little tomato fort!


Here is how i started off. a Raised Planter bed that my husband had left over from another project. We willed it with about 14 cubic feet of soil. And added some large mesh about 4' high for the tomatoes to climb on.

The is wived thru the supporting sticks for some extra support

First row of plants are in place with lots if water and fertilizer



This was almost a project for itself. i have never worked with a soaker hose before and those things are pretty stubborn. i laid out the soaker hose and planted the tomato in the middle. again good amount of fertilizer.

all 8 tomato bundles (roughly 5 plants per bundle) are in! and like you can see the irrigation line seemed to work as well.

TA DA! secured and surrounded by some finer mesh to keep all the birds out. Now when you look at the picture of the plants before they seamed a little taller. but i have planted them extra deep into the soil so they grow a stringer root system.
