Here is a Picture of the TriPod Sprinkler we have purchased to use until we get the irrigation system installed. They will also be used to spot water if and when needed.

We have a need and are looking for some 6" X 6" concrete wire to use to stake tomato plants with. We will need about 300 linear feet of this wire - 6 to 8 foot wide. This wire can and will be used over and over again for many years. It will be cut into 5 foot lengths to make a cage for 60 tomato plants. It comes in 150 linear foot rolls in our area which means 2 rolls should do. I am trying to find a concrete supply place near by to donate a couple of rolls but so far no luck. However one did offer to sell at cost which is $69.00 per roll. I can use this wire and make cages cheaper than purchasing the cages for tomato plants.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a picture of one of the tomato plants. It now has about 18 inches of the main stem in the ground. This is giving the plant a great root system. It shouldn't be long until they set on tomatos.

2 inch schedule 80 pipe was used and antivibrators was put on for the first 60 feet to prevent pipe and pump from being damaged on startup.

This is a picture of the three wire that the four wire was replaced with when they had to repair pipe that came apart.
