I use concrete reinforcing wire to make my cages. It comes in 5' wide rolls
which I cut into 7' lengths. This will make a 2' diameter cage. Yesterday
I had to make an extension to 7' as some of the plants are now 6 to 6-1/2 
feet tall. If they get much taller I will have to put another extension and
guy wires on the cages.

My largest varities are the Sweet 100, althought my Supersteaks are almost
as big.  I feed them lots of compost and liquid fertilizer (15-30-20
bi-weekly).
