My tomatoes are supported by strings tied to an overhead support structure. I do not remove suckers from my plants. The structure is built every year using 8 foot steel fence posts, 8 foot rebar and plastic ties. The size is 8 feet by 20 feet, space for about 18 tomato plants. Strings are applied as necessary throughout the season to keep the fruit off the ground and support the fruiting branches. Three to five strings are usually sufficient. It takes about three hours to construct working alone.
