Yesterday we went to our Farm Supply and got bales of straw to put around the tomatoes. We have tried several methods of keeping tomatoes off the ground. Cages sort of work until they fall over from the weight of the plant. Wire on both sides works but is very time consuming. If you just let them grow on the ground, many of them rot. So over the years we have found that letting them sprawl on top of straw is the best for us. Today we spread out the first batch of straw and we will add more as the plants get bigger.
