Cages vs. trellises?

19 years ago

I have a new 4' à 25' garden bed in which I will be putting up either tomato cages or trellises made out of 6' tall welded-wire fencing material. The advantage of cages: They give the plants 360° of support, and as long as you poke any limbs back into the cage no tying or pruning is necessary. The advantage of trellises: They're more versatile  can be used for tomatoes one year and beans or cukes the next.

Well, you all have been growing tomatoes for ages. Are there any other factors I should consider? Any votes for one or the other?
