Don't know what a tomato ladder is, but this year I came up with the
ultimate tomato cage for considerably less money. Buy a roll of concrete
reinforcing wire (50' for @ $20). Cut (use a really big linesman pliers) it
so when made into a circle it will have a diameter of 30-36 inches. You
should get six or so cages from a roll of wire; they will last a long time.
Put it together using sisal, light wire, etc (cut off the six inch pieces
that were left when you cut the wire; do not use them to permanantly join
both sides of the cage.) When you are done with the cages at the end of the
summer, cut the twine or wire, store the cages inside each other. How to
store cages was always the bane of my existence.
