I purchased a set of three last year with the extentions, and I am back this year to purchase two more sets. I have limited space and usually square foot garden with conduit trellis and cotton twine. This was much easier.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These ladders are the perfect size for my square foot garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I am using the tomato ladders in my garden for my tomato plants. They are definitely sturdy and with the long feet they stay put! I also love the red color! It adds a nice design element to the garden when the plants are young. My only suggestion would be to make them a bit taller. I know from experience these will not be tall enough for my tomato plants, however, they would work nicely for squash, eggplant or even pole beans. Next time I will try the stacking tomato ladders. I am happy with my purchase, and anticipate the quality product lasting many years.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I've built my own tomato ladders.
I've purchased the traditional "circle" tomato cages.
And then I got serious.
Yep - they are pricy, but this is my 2nd batch of ordering these tomato ladders. They hold up to Arizona's punishing sun, and strong Monsoon season. And they easily help to produce the most prolific tomato plants I've grown.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I ordered only one set of three, and now wish I'd ordered more at that time,[...]. I am very impressed with all aspects of the tomato ladders and I need more, want more. Alas, I have to try something else instead.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Purchased these because they looked sturdier than the ones we had and are suppose to go with the red tomato trays I ordered last year. They seem very sturdy but have not used them yet. We are planting tomatoes tomorrow. Will add to this post later in the summer and let you know how they fared.

I plant in buckets and these ladders fit in the buckets wonderfully.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These ladders are GREAT! I have collected quite a few and just bought 3 more this year. They are well-made and very durable. They are a great investment - they "nest" easily for winter storage and the ones I've had for 5+ years look just as good as the new additions.
I can plant 2-3 plants per ladder and because everything goes vertical, it makes great use of the space. The ladders are so sturdy, they support as many plants as I run up them.
Great product!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I really enjoy my tomato ladders and their extensions! By allowing me to grow vertical I can save space, have healthier plants and grow more in my raised bed! I would recommend these to anyone. They are super easy to install, just open the box, take them out and place in your garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have used tomato ladders for years with great success. Since I usually grow heirloom varieties, which are indeterminate and get very tall, will be trying the extension ladders this year with these. Love the new red color too. My green ladders are over 6 years old and still look like new. Really great product!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Haven't used yet, but I can say they are well made, durable and sturdy enought to hold the largest tomato plants.

My neighbors see my gaden so I want it to look neat. The ladders are very strong and never moved in the worst wind storms.

It is to early to put put up tomato ladders ,but they seem very sturdy.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I bought these to use on my tomato plants, but ended up using them to trellis cucumbers and pole beans in my raised beds and in pots on my patio. It worked great!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

for small area garden areas where vertical growth can be used , these ladders will suport winter squash fruits , support hollyhocks , sunflowers ,
and any other tall flowers that would benefit from extra support .

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Do not have to worry about tying up my large tomato plants and use smaller ones for my peppers. It's wonderful

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Wouldn't be without my tomato ladders. Easy to use, not necessary to keep adjusting the strings to hold up the huge plants. Purchased them for my three children. They love them.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Even though I haven t used them; my sister has and I have seen them support tomatoes beautifully. They are strong, tall and adds wonderful color.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Looking forward to planting tomatoes and cucumbers this year. This sturdy product will work well. Their awesome red color will make my garden stand out from others. Will take photos this summer.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The tomato ladders are excellent for use in a Earth Box (growing container) The legs are 18' long which gives it great stability. No more strings and poles to holdup the plants.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

useful for things other than tomatoes plants

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The narrow width helps train young plants sooner and the open design makes it easier to reach ripe fruit. I love that these are taller than standard tomato cages! The sturdy design made the ladders easier to push into the ground and because of the narrow width I have more room in my garden. I'll be buying another set of these!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

In the ad there is much made of the red color and its benefit for tomato plants. So, since I own and like the green ladders, I thought I would try the red. I have no idea if the red actually makes a difference to the plants; this was a great tomato year, not just for me, but for everyone in my area. But by the end of the first season the red ladders had faded to a coral shade. The green ones, some of which are three years old, have never faded. I don't know if tomato plants like coral; I don't think that research has been done!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I usually plant in containers because the sunniest spot in my backyard is on the concrete area next to my garage, but I bought one plant that was too large for any of my containers. I had an empty spot in one of my planting beds so I planted it there. I realized that I would need something to support the plant, but the spot was too narrow for the traditional tomato cage. I ordered a set of these ladders and they arrived in plenty of time for me to install it while my plant was still small. I was slightly concerned because I wasn't sure my plant would get adequate sunlight where it was planted. Well the plant flourished and the tomato ladder kept the growth nice and straight. I had to use some velcro ties to secure some of the branches to the ladder, but that was easy to do. My plant reached over 6 ft high and produced loads of tomatoes. I could have used the extension but I made due without it. I will definitely use these next season for tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and more.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

My tomato crop was incredible! These ladders held up the huge plants without bending or leaning. I am VERY pleased - well worth the investment as I will have them for many years.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have found other tomatoe plant supports not adequate once plants are more than 3+ feet talk.
This support system is both attractive and useful.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Had to buy these in order to use the extensions. It would have been nice if the extensions worked with the "older" style tomato ladder.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

My stepdad was impressed when he saw mine. He ordered a set for himself. We are very pleased with your products.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love these ladders because they have many uses. I have a very large hibiscus that needs support, but I primarily use them for my dahlias. I only plant a dozen or so dahlias each year and stakes never seemed to work that well. These are great and hold the dahlias upright during late summer storms. I'm getting more, although I agree with the poster who said we used to get more for the price. Also, I wish these would go on sale once in a while....hint, hint!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I ordered a set of the Red Tomato Ladders for my garden plot in a community garden. I was anxious to try the red ladders since I heard that I would have redder tomatoes through the summer.
The ladders work great, they are compact and took up much less space than the traditional tomato wire supports. I'm disappointed though that they've practically faded to a light pink color during this one growing season. There's no doubt that I'll use them again next season, but if I expect them to produce redder tomatoes, I'll have to figure out a safe paint to repaint them with first.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Our tomato vines are now reaching 15+ feet in length and still growing. Hence the con that these are small in size. Perhaps that's just us and that con should be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, these things work great. We planted 14 plants of different varieties. The plants didn't start crawling all over creation when they got too large; they just started weaving in amonst themselves. The result is a huge, but fairly well contained, mountain of tomato plants. I would definitely recommend them.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are great! They are easy up, easy to harvest, easy to take down and easy to store, and they look attractive in the garden.I also use them in my grow boxes on the deck with a little twine to secure to the railing. I have had tomatoes grow to the roof!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Using in Demonstration Garden as example of tomato supports. Added additional ladders as plants grew. Used clips to attach branches to ladders. Wish I had used extension ladders. Have to be installed at planting time.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

WISH I HAD BOUGHT THEM SOONER. REALLY WORK GREAT IN OUR TOMATO POTS.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

This is a very heavy-duty tomato support, suitable for determinant varieties. I haven't tried the add-on that makes it taller, but it seems to me if it's any taller it will tend to fall over unless it's set in heavy soil.

The narrow design is both a plus and a minus. It makes it easy to put up, especially if you've waited till the plants are a little big. They also store in a small space. However, when the plants get big, large branches tend to break as they droop over the sides, so you really have to stay on top of keeping them tied up with velcro or other plant ties, or pruned back.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Will last for many years

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Wish we'd had them when we planted the tomatoes. They are great. They support the tomatoes and the plants climb upward on their own. We'll order more for next year, since each plant really requires two ladders. The extensions are nice too; add stability and height, and our tomatoes grow TALL!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

My Gardeners Supply self watering planters are in one of the few sunny spots on our property.I planted cherry tomatoes & when they grew,the sturdy green ladders fit right in to support them and look attractive at the same time. I'm delighted.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I like the product as it is very sturdy and support a lot of tomatoes. But, the posts don't all line up to the base units which is a pain. When they line up all is perfect and it is easy.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Had been hoping for a new tomato solution after being done with the old cages from previous years. Several friends and neighbors use the ladders and recommended them. We were late in purchasing and our tomatoes were already well established, however the cages still held them up great and we can see an improvement already in several of the plants in their growth and production. We have a very small garden patch, so these are also particularly great for maximizing our space. Looking forward to buying a few more next year and having these for years to come!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I visited my nephew in Connecticut last year on July 4th. He had them, and I thought they were the coolest things (especially red) that I'd ever seen in a garden. About a week after I got home, a set of three arrived from him. I loved them so much that I ordered another set, and my maters and peppers look so pretty.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

HIGH WINDS BLOW THESE CAGES OVER. BUT THEY DO WORK VERY WELL.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Talk about attractive and well built! My tomatoes are loving these ladders, especially with the gusty storms we get here in Ohio.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I also use these for snap peas and cucumbers. I am only disappointed by the fact that the first 3 sets of tomato ladders I bought were 5 for [$] not just 3!! that was a year or 2 ago. Love your store and your catalog!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I am using the ladders for my late tomatoes. Disappointed in sides of ladders. My tomates are usually very full . I do not think one ladder will control tomato plant. May have to use two or three. If the measurements had been given in catalog I would not have orderd. To bulky to send back and costly.

Strong and durable.

WORKING GREAT FOR OUR HEAVY TOMATO PLANTS.

The colors look good next to my green plants. Keeps the tomatoes off the ground and space saving.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The tomato ladders and easy to use, sturdy, and attractive. I think I need to also say "fun" because it is fun to help the tomatoes grow into them. I bought 6 and a couple of weeks later I bought 6 more. They cost a lot, but if they last for many years they will be worth it. Time will tell.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I'm using these in my first square foot garden and have found out that unless you are very vigilent and remove all the suckers from the plants that they become too big and you have to use tomato ties or the branches flop outside of the ladder. Next year I'm going to plant 18" apart instead of 12".

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I am currently using these ladders for tomatoes in my garden. Next year I plan on using them for cucumbers as well. They are attractive and very sturdy, easy to use. I also plan on buying a few more. Thank you for offering a well-made, attractive product that has more than one purpose.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

great holding up my tomato plants

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These racks can hold a bushel of tomatoes! The cucumbers love them, too. They are attractive, sturdy and easy to store, as they fit right into each other. These are the best vegetable racks we've ever tried. Thanks!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love the sturdiness and ease of use of these ladders and will continue to add to our collection. I found, however, that it is difficult to enclose indeterminate tomatoes, such as our heirlooms. I wonder if a half-circle design would work better?

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These garden ladders are the heavy duty tomato supports I have been seeking for years. I have bought so many of the flimsier cages that fall apart after 2 or 3 years--these are more expensive initially, but they are strong and built to last, so I believe they will save me money in the long run. They provide excellent support for the plants with very little effort on my part.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

great for quick installation & long lasting; not sure if red is any better than green for promoting quick ripening of tomatoes. A little pricey but would buy again when on sale.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are pretty good for tomatoes but if your tomatoes are indeterminate and you don't nip the shoots the plant overcomes them. But the red is pretty in the garden if your tomatoes are small.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I bought these for tomatoes growing in my Square Foot Raised Bed Garden - I wanted something that would fit but not be too big. These are perfect! Enough room for the tomatoes to attach but small enough to maneuver between them. People who see them for the first time always positively comment on them.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

still need supports to stay upright in a strong wind or heavy rain.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Works well with the tomato tower to make the garden space more versatile and interesting. Just wish it was a little taller!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love the tomato ladders. I have them in green and the new red color. Sometimes I have to put two together to get the maximun support but it is worth it not to have to tie the plants. I have not used the extensions because I let the plants flow over the original ladders

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Great support for my tomato plants. I'm going to get the extensions for next summer since my plants outgrew the supports.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These ladders will last for many years to come. They are very sturdy! To date I purchased 9 tomato ladders and 9 vegetable ladders. I am only using 6 tomato ladders this year but am planning differently next year. Why wait to purchase them?

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I purchased two sets of these and I love them, hated the old flimsy tomato cages that were a nightmare to store!! I plan to buy more.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These ladder supports are wonderful. You unpack the box and put them in the ground. done. They are strong and will support lightweight and heavy garden row cover & garden quilt, they allow easy access to your plants & fruit, and in the fall you clean them up and they stack for easy storage. I'm ordering them one or two sets at a time, replacing my other GS tomato cages.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Easy to use. Attractive. Easy to secure vines. Seems very sturdy. hopefully it lasts several seasons.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

these ladders look great but don't work great. I am somewhat disappointed because of the constant need to tie the plant to the ladder. the plants don't just automatically support themselves on the ladder. I much prefer the tomato cages.
the ladders are sturdy but heavy.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The tomato ladders are attractive, very sturdy, and able to consolidate the tomato plants into less space. The ladders keep the plants up off the ground and they grow very well up and through the ladder spaces. I do find the ladders a bit expensive, though. If one has many tomato plants the cost of the set of three ladders could cost a considerable amount of money. Even though they are expensive they are sturdy. They have the sturdiest construction I have seen. Many tomato cages are so flimsy. With the sturdy construction they should last for many seasons, so in the long run, they should be well worth the initial price. It would be nice to see the ladders also sold as a single unit, as well as the set of three. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend them to others and would most likely purchase more in the future. I purchased the ladders for my husband for Father's Day. He, too, is pleased with them. He loves tomatoes and enjoys seeing how well his plants grow up and through the ladders.

These are sturdy and well made. Powder coat is attractive and in red contrasts nicely with the green of the plants in my raised bed.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

great for tomatoes or any other tall plants that need support. Wish they were even taller. I didn't expect my tomatoes to get so big!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I use these for all my tomatos. I interlock using cross pieces of wood or branches to add horizontal support and have a system that gives me loads of great tomatos.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I use this product for tomato plants in pots on my deck due to severe deer problems and these support the plants and humingbirds and small songbirds use them as a resting spot.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The best product around for raising tomatoes.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Bought 3 red tomato ladders and extensions, and now have 6-1/2 ft tall heavy-duty supports for my indeterminant tomato plants!

My tomato plants always grow too tall for the cages that I used. I already see your ladder supports will keep my plants up off the ground longer.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I LOVE these sturdy tomato ladders and extensions for my indeterminant tomatoes. They're 6-1/2 ft tall! Easy to assemble, clean/disinfect, store. My plants always grow taller than 6-1/2 feet, but these ladders will keep them upright better than 3 stacked tomato cages I've used for years.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These tall and sturdy supports are perfect for heavy tomato plants. Could also be used for squash or other "viney" plants. I have recommended these to several neighbors.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Wow! More than pleased with this product. Did not realize how tall my tomato plants were growing until I put in the tomato ladder - keeps them in control

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These look great! Wish my tomatoes were living up to their great-looking supports. This is my first year gardening in this climate, hopefully I'll learn. But I love the way these look - they share a bed with some veggies growing on some tall green spiral stakes and the combination is very fun. They'll stack easily in the garage for winter storage, and I think I'll find other uses (and get more!) next year

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

i was torn between the cages and this product as i hate tomatoes (long story, read my other review) but i like growing 5 heirloom varieties each year. the cages are def better for tomatoes, however - these are awesome. we ended up having enough cages so my dad used this for the corn. don't laugh. they are tall and beautifully constructed. he tied string around them, for three levels, and put the corn in between as they were too heavy and lopping to one side. aesthetically, they are pretty in the yard. i don't even think i'll use them for tomatoes. probably something else. yes, they are pricey but they are reallllllly tall and very strong. they blend in (i wanted the red but i thought the green would go better in my yard). my dad, an avid tomato grower for over 40 years, loves this product. guess what he's getting for xmas

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I used the tomato ladders in my raised garden bed and one is on my deck with a tomato plant. So far the tomatoes have grown right up the support. I got the plastic clips to help hold the vines.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I was surprised and pleased with the sturdiness of these ladders. I was going to use one for each of my tomato plants (as seen in the catalog photo), but unlike the tomato cages that captures the plant all around, I needed two to support only one plant and as the package comes with 3, I used the remainder to support an eggplant, so far so good.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Good for peppers, eggplant and cherry tomatoes. Probably not wide enough to support regular tomatoes (we use the hanging planters). For cherry tomatoes, we also use the velco-like garden tape to keep the branches contained.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

This is the best tomato support I have found. It will work great for the tall cherry tomatoes.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I really like these tomato ladders. I use them in pots and in the garden. They are very strong and don't get tangled in storage like tomato cages do. They only thing I would change is that they are a little pricey!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Excellent tomato ladders. Used to buy the cheap version of the tomato cages and finally found these. I've tried 6 for the first time and will be adding more for next year's garden

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I got these to use for tomato plants and so much better than those flimsy cages that have sharp edges.
I have problems with deer cleaning their antlers on my trees and lilacs. I ordered some to place beside the young trees to support them and with some chicken wire around the outsides I am hoping the deer will spare my trees.
I also have Rose of Sharon that were blown down and now they have ladders holding them upright.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Finally got those tomatoes up off the ground! Very strong. I'll bet they'll really last year to year. Used one for a floppy peony.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Hope the blight doesnt ruin may crop but right now it looks like we are going to have a bumper crop and they look beautiful on the tomatoe ladders

These are the ONLY ladders I use for our tomato plants. They're strong, easy to use, easy to store, and hold my tallest plants without fail.

These are the sturdiest tomato stakes I have ever seen. I am very pleased with them.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

they are strong enough to hold my heavy tomato load even through a midwest thunderstorm

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I use the tomato ladders in my raised beds. The size allows me to use three in a 3' X 3' area with herbs planted around the tomatoes. I do have to tie branches up to the ladders to support them, but the ladder handles it easily.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The price is high, but if they last through the years it will be worth it. I ordered two sets, tried them, and ordered two more sets the next week. They are attractive, much easier to use than other tomato supports, and I must say... fun.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Like the extensions, well designed and fit together easily. Excellent product.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Impressed with their solidity; they should last for a long time (unlike the plastic ones I'm replacing).

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I couldn't choose . . . ladders or spirals - I LOVE both!!!!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Ive looked at these for many years and decided to try them out for expanding the tomatoes this season. In a side by side comparison to my big cages the tower plants are bigger, taller and have a deeper green. Both are the same plants and were planted at the same time. As always it's nice to see products that work as they are supposed to.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I use these to stake my tomatoes. I have had some for a couple of years now and they do not rust at all. They are so easy to stack and store that I purchased some more this year,

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Sturdy and strong. Much better than tomato cages and a metal stake. Withstands winds and looks attractive in my garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

My tomatoes are growing right up the ladders. So far I don't need to tie then to the supports. I wish I had ordered the extensions. I would order this again.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

A colorful addition to any garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I was surprised that the angle was less than 90. How close to the back should the tomatoes be planted? I will have a better evaluation at the end of the season.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I do love these...one of the most sturdiest set of tomato aids I've ever seen on the market. [...] That said, you do get what you pay for - I can see these lasting for years and years. My crop this year is going to one of the greatest, simply because this product lives up to the description.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are great support for little plants just getting started and then heavy enough to support once they really get going. I also got the extensions and would really recommend them.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These ladders really support a crop of tomatoes,
paint holds up season after season.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

We unboxed these the day they arrived and set them in the garden amongst our tiny tomato plants. In a few short weeks the tomatoes have shot up and outside of having to tuck a few branches here and there, we haven't had to do anything other than watch them grow up the ladder. I will be buying more.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have purchased this item in the past, and the ladders that were purchased first had the same heavy duty cross brackets the entire length of the ladder, not just at the bottom. I was extremely disappointed in this change, as while it did not make the ladder "flimsy", it did make it weaker and one of the thin brackets did break a weld when I was putting it in the ground. The ladders were better before, and this change was unnecessary. It reduced a great product to simply a good product.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Especially like the tomato ladders because of space saved in small area as compared to using round wire cages. Also appreciate the strong metal that easily inserts into the ground.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The ladders keep my square foot garden neat, but they are also attractive supports in the garden. They also work well in containers.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

So far the ladders are working well. They are durably made and attractive in the garden. Bring on the tomatoes

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I bought similiar style for Mandevilla. Didn't think it would work for tomatoes. I was so wrong. They are far more supportive and easier to use than cages. Also great for cucumbers, beans, peppers, and of course work great for any vining plant. AND because of the slimmmer profile of these supports they make it far easier to get around inside your garden. We had a huge storm the other night, they didn't budge but the cages right next to them did. Can't believe I waited so long to try them.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

good study item which goes into compacted soil without bending - excellent product

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are great! Just make sure you intertwine the tomatoes as they grow and you won't have to tie them. I use these for tomatoes and peppers and use the wire cages for the eggplant and broccoli. The birds use them as perches while scanning the garden for bugs to eat!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are very sturdy tomato holders which my tomatoes are largely already benefiting from, being taller and more healthy than the typical cage counterparts. My only con with these would be their slightly bulky form factor, which will take up space in the off season. [...] A+

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Since I have already staked my tomatoes for this year, I used the ladders on the cucumbers and cantaloups--so far so good. I wish I had them early enough for the tomatoes! The standard tomato cages are too flimsy for my tomato plants.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I absolutely LOVE these ladders. I just got them today and installed 5 out of 6, (I am waiting for the wasps to go to sleep before I can install the 6th one. Yes, they are a little pricey but the design and weight of them is worth it. I am thinking they will last for years! I am just sorry I did not order the extensions at the same time. I will have to wait till next year to put the extensions in first (as recommended) depending on how tall my heirloom tomatoes grow.
Love them!

Bought 1 set last year--loved them so much I bought 2 more sets this year. They keep the tomato plants neat and off of the ground. I live on a lake where is can be very windy--they hold the plants well.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The ladders have worked very well at containing the plants. They are very sturdy and are handling the weight of the plants well

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are great tomato supports, heavy duty and durable enough to really hold the plants up for maximum health and fruit production. I declined to buy the ladder extensions when the GS customer service rep offered them to me, but I really think most people will want them. Suggestion: Isn't it better to just make these ladders 18"-36" taller so the extensions aren't needed? Anyway, these are much better than flimsier wire cages sold at most gardening stores!

Instructions: It would have been helpful if there were some directions on how to guide the tomato plants up the ladders as they grow

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

A bit of money upfront, but we know they will last for years. They are working out wonderfully and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. We have three sets we use all at the same time.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These look really nice in the garden. I only got them this year so I don' yet know how they stand up to heavy loads, but I am well satisfied with the height so far of the ladder w/o the extension (I am trying out 1 w/o the extensions & 2 with the extensions).

I chose green so I would be able to tell at a glance if tomatos were ripe - I thought that the red color might have distracted from that. Also the green, from a distance, blends into the landscaping much better.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I interspaced these with rainbow spirals and perennials in my front walkway garden. They add a delightful accent that serves as a prelude to the mature plants.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love the design of these ladders, but I can't see them holding a heavy load of tomatoes. I am using them for clematis vines, and to hold a saucer-style hummingbird feeder. Even with these lightweight items, I am using heavy rocks to hold the ladders in place. I recommend placing the ladders next to a wall so they have extra support.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Both sturdy and adds a dramatic element to the garden. And maybe the red color will give me a bigger yield???

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have found these very useful in tomato gardening. They're tall enough for most of the plants I have grown. This year, they're made of a thinner grade of metal, so not as sturdy and probably won't last as long.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are the best tomato props that I have ever used. They are strong and durable and are like new each year when I put them out. They are also attractive in the garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have never ordered anything from this catalog before, and was a little hesitant due to the price, but these tomato ladders are fabulous. The quality is amazing (very sturdy) and my tomatoes are standing tall! I've tried stakes (don't work with mature plants) and cages (so unattractive and hard to store after season) so I'm thrilled to have the perfect solution!
Worth every penny!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I hesitated at first about ordering these tomato ladders, because of the price, but it is definitely money well spent! The tomatoes are thriving, after just two weeks, and no more using single pole stakes and recycling my pantyhose as ties! Good thing, now that I am retired...

The ladders are very well made and sturdy. Good thing too, because my Huskies love stealing tomatoes right off the vine -- they think they are balls! Though I normally only grow plum tomatoes, in my little ghetto garden, I elected to plant a cherry tomato once again. I am curious to see how the "ladder" handles it. The last time I planted one, it was like out of a Sci-fi movie -- the plant took over the garden and grew like a weed! Had enough cherry tomatoes to feed the neighborhood.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love my ladders. Since I have dogs, I don't want them to have access to anything I might eat (poop and dog urine) so I plant a few vegetables in my front yard with the hope of making it appear artsy. My bright red tomato ladders with my yellow small tomatoes fits the bill. In addition I can watch the growing progress from my kitchen window, whereas, if they were in the back yard I could not.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Being a little pricey, I tried a set of three last year. Ordered two sets of three this spring. Attractive in the garden. Sturdy for abundant tomatoes, squash, eggplants. Provides management for plant growth.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

So far these seem as though they are going to work perfectly. They are attractive and easy to use. They seem to be pretty sturdy and they fit together well when not in use so they won't take up much room when storing. Give them a try.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are all they are purported to be. Sturdy, well-made, should last for years. Pricey, but over the course of their usable life, will turn out to be the best buy! Did I mention how much more attractive they are than those awful sleazy cages?

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Works for me so far this year. Stronger and better then the cheep cages the box stores sell.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I purchased seedling plants of various types of tomatoes (roma, patio, beefsteak, golden) and added the red tomato ladders after the seedlings were established. I found them more attractive and compact than the tomato cages - even though the cages fold flat for storage. I help the plants stay inside the ladder, but for the most part the plants are growing vertically by themselves.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The ladders appear to be working well. I appreciate the sturdy construction.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These are perfect for bell & hot peppers. Not quite wide enough to tomatoes but I'm trying it with an heirloom variety to see how it goes. I love the way they look too. It is like a little piece of art in my garden!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The ladders aren't big enough to contain the bushes and most of the limbs are unsupported.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

This is a good design and concept, but they are WAY too small to hold up a big tomato plant.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

So far, they are doing a great job. The real test will come in about 4-6 weeks when the tomato plants become full of fruit. That is when we hope to see a 5 star rating.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The tomato ladders are sturdy and attractive; I am anxious to see whether they will hold the plant in full fruit without toppling.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

This is my first season using the tomato ladder. It's really to early to offer a complete review until the season ends. So far so good.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

This is a well made,sturdy, good looking product. [...] easy to install. They are an investment, but with their sturdy construction I hope to get many years of use.I plan to order the extensions to accommodate Heirloom tomatoes.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have more than a dozen of these ladders and some years they support more than one plant each with ease. to store, I simply pull them out when I pull out the plants and set them aside in the garden -- standing up -- they make a lovely winter decoration covered in snow.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I am so pleased to have an alternative to the ugly and one-time-use wire cages. These racks are attractive, sturdy and it's easy to tie up the tomato plant with velcro gardening tape. I am particularly looking forward to Fall clean up becaue these racks are reusable and easily stackable within themselves for easy Winter stowaway.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I put the extensions in a couple of weeks ago but have just put the ladders in yesterday. they were very easy to connect to the extensions and I can only hope my tomato plants grow as high as the ladders. The ladders are sturdy looking and are a definite improvement over the tomato stacks I ahve used in the past.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

really like the sturdy ladders, hold the plants well

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The tomato ladders are great looking, useful and save space in the garden.
They are, by some distance, the best tomato stakes I've seen.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I used these ladders to incorporate my tomato plants into a flower garden. They blend quite well and add just a bit of color. They are very sturdy and are staying upright where other methods start to tip over. As a amatuer gardener I am excited with this project.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Nice upgrade from normal (flimsy, ugly) tomato supports.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love the compact nature of the ladders.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I was able to use the ladders in my containers which are moveable.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I can't think of anything I don't love about these tomato ladders ! Tomatoes are also easy to tie up with these ladders. If I anticipate a really large plant I will actually use a ladder on each side and then tie the ladders together with velcro ties. You will NOT be disappointed in these ladders.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These ladders are not only sturdy and strong, but they are so attractive in the garden. In addition, I have used 2 of them in my patio containers and they look great. (My hummingbirds love to sit on the top rung between sips of their food!)

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I purchased these ladders after wooden stakes and standard metal tomato cages wouldn't support my plants. I just put these in the ground so we'll see how they hold up throughout the season. I wish I purchased the tomato ladder extensions with the actual ladders. I think my plants might outgrow the ladders. Fingers crossed!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The tomato ladders are very efficient in the garden. I like how they keep my tomatoes off the ground and allow them to grow vertically. It allows me to grow more tomatoes in my small patch.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love the way "the ladders" look and the great color - RED, love it. I didn't really get a chance to use them with my tomatoes (already planted in containers), but I used them for supporting my tall flowers (Texas Star, Angel Wing Begonia).If the flowers get above the ladders,I'll just add the extension! I believe if used on big tomato bushes it would take all three of the ladders. I was expecting wider, but next year will try the set I have on the tomatoes and bell peppers. I love the way they fit together and are sturdy enough to hold up the vines. Always was looking for heavier supports for the vegetables, but I CAN RECOMMEND THEM FLOWER SUPPORTS. lOOK GREAT IN THE YARD.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I bought a set of 5 ladders from you 2 or 3 years ago and have been very pleased. So I ordered 3 more and was surprised that the cross pieces were of a lighter guage than the earlier ones. Perhaps they will work just fine but they certainly don't seem as substantial

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Great for any plant that requires structure.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Best Tomato Ladders I every used!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have never been happy with support for my vegtables until this year when I tried the "ladders"
I just stuck them in and the tomatoes just were supported.
The first one that I used was put beside a plant that I just put in the dirt. It was just falling over and looked sick. I put the ladder beside it and it just stood up. I told my husband that I swore the tomatoe plant smiled. I really couldn't believe it worked so easily and well.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Works great for tomatoes grown right side up.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

My tomato plants look really nice and neat leaning against these tomato ladders. I wish they were a bit taller and not as pricy, so I could buy a few more sets for my other tomato plants (since I plant so many of them).

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I like the way the look and how sturdy they are.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Not tall enough. Order the extenders right off the bat.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I boiught a set of 3 last year and wished I had bought four more sets. This year I did!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I use the tall and also the shorter Ladders for tomatoes, peppers and eggplants in the garden and even in pots on the deck. They are easier to handle than cages.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

We use these in all our family gardens. We find they work great, there is not as much need for tying tomatoes to the ladder--they provide good support without. They also look better and plants can take up less space if you like.

I use them indoors in huge pots for indoor tomatoes.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

excellent product to support tomato plants

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I love these tomato ladders. They are sturdier than conventional wire tomato cages. Since they nest together nicely, they are much easier to store in winter.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The ladders are solid. they are a longterm solution for many years of use.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Being a novice at growing a garden and failing miserably last year I decided to try these garden tomato ladders and so far they are working great. They are made of tough steel with a generous coat of paint and blend in well with the environment.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I bought these 3 summers ago and they have held up extremely well. I have 5 of the tall red and 5 of the shorter length in green. They must have sold in sets of 5 when I bought them. The red ones have faded to orange and one of them has taken on a slight bent curve toward the top, but they are still attractive and VERY sturdy! I will never go back to the traditional tomato cage after having used these. They never topple over even during high winds or when loaded with big tomatoes. They allow me to space my plants closer together too. I use the tall ones for tomatoes and the short ones to support my pepper plants. I think these are a must have in every veggie garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

am looking forward to seeing the tomatoes climbing the ladders, almost as much as iam to eating them

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I was looking for a sturdy stake system for my earthboxes for a long time--these work great! I had been worried they might topple over as my boxes are part of a roof garden and can get slammed by the wind. We've had two storms since I put them up and they're still as straight as the day I put them in. I also love, love, love not having to use ties; no more pockets full of random pieces of cloth, etc. and it makes for an easier clean up in the fall (straight into the compost without having to search for ties).
The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they are a bit short for indeterminate tomatoes. I know they sell an 'extender' piece, but as a young gardener on a tight budget it bugs me that you have to buy something else for the product to work right. I can't afford the extenders and shipping so I just put a single taller stake in the corner of the ladder and plan to tie any plants that reach over the ladder to the stake. It will work, but it's less attractive and perhaps more to the point, slightly irritating.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

This is my first ladder. I have used other types of staking in the past. I am hopeful this will be the best. I love the look out the back of my house. To see all those ladders with great color. Have to wait and see how my tomatoes like them. "Time Will Tell"

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Perfect, strong and solid!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Used these for my cherry tomatoes and regular and they work well to attach the plants. They hold up well and I look forward to storing them and reusing for many years.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Last year all my tomato cages fell over, because the tomatoes got too heavy. Not this year.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

We are trying Square Foot Gardening this year and these ladders are just what we needed. Very sturdy, attractive (love the red!) and with the extenders, very tall. Highly recommended!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These seem sturdy, they went and stayed in the ground (even in raised beds with soft soil) nicely. They are more attractive than most alternatives. Just got them, so we'll see how they hold up and work.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Awesome Product. My tomatoes are staying in boundries due to the fact I am using the ladders. In the.In the past I have used cages, and my tomatoes have been all over the place, good product. it is sturdy will take up less space in storeage

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

This is our fifth or sixth set of 3! We've done so well with tomatoes! This year we decided to try them with snow peas and they're terrific!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

They seem to be just what I've been needing to keep my tomatoes off the ground. Right now they're still small. I'll let you now how they work out when they're loaded with fruit. I've got a good feeling.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

It's great they are so narrow. I was able to get more tomato plants in my small garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Finally, after years of tomato cages that collapse under the weight of the plants, I've found the solution. These ladders really do support the plants and are so attractive in the garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I have used several different kinds of supports for my tomato plants, but I can already see that the tomato ladders will be my favorites. They are tough, support the plants well, take up very little space, and I love the splash of red in my garden.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Great for our windy area

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I never did mind paying a little more for items from Gardener's supply because they were high quality items that were unique. This is not the case anymore. I'm a Botany teacher who has many of these ladders. In the past, you received 5 ladders for the cataloge price. Now, you only get 3 ladders. To make matters worse, the cross brackets are remarkably smaller gage wire ... not the 7mm advertized. To reduce the number of ladders and make them flimsier is unforgivable Gardener's Supply. Shame on You!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Put tomato plants in ground and placed ladders over plants. Look attractive in the garden and plants are growing fast up the ladders. Time will tell how ladders work as season progresses.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

The red ladders came with paint chipped off down to the metal at every cross piece. I am suspect as to quality (rusting) since I live in the NW.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I'm thrilled with my tomato ladders. After last year, where the weight and height of my tomato plants consumed and destroyed my support cages that I purchased locally, I'm excited to have these tall sturdy, easy to install ladders. No more folding and getting tangled up in the tri-fold cages that I had, that often bent under the weight of the produce!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

I retired my old, beat up, flimsy wire cages this year. These new, open access, red tomato ladders are terrific. They are sturdy and will not bend and they look attractive in the garden. It's still early in the season, but I can see how they will cradle the plants and yet leave easy access for pruning and harvesting.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

THe ladders should still do the job, but they are not as sturdy as the ones I bought previouslyfrom here .I hope they last as well as my older ones.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

Not quite tall enough, had to order the extension and then found out that the extension has to be put on first so almost no way to retrofit??? This is major flaw in system!!!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

We really like these.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

These sturdy supports are not only practical, but the new red color makes the ladders look like abstract garden sculptures. This bright shade of red will match the new tomotoes, soon to be climbing up the colorful metal rungs!

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

First time user in my greenhouse, very sturdy and attractive.

Comments about Tomato Ladders, Set of 3:

these are great if the tomatoes do not get too tall.

While they are great for small plum tomatoes they are also great for cucumbers.
