The recent issue of Mother Earth News has an interesting design for
fabricating cages from uprights made of 3" PVC pipe with cross members of
1/2" electric conduit. Advantages: unlike wire the conduit does not
encourage the resting branch to crimp under its own weight; pour fertilizer
tea down the uprights and it goes straight to the roots; it's cheap enough;
and after the growing season it breaks down and stores neatly and compactly.
I havn't tried it... just saw the plans while perusing the mag at a Stucky's
in between DC and Norfolk.
