When you first plant your garden, it’s easy to assume that early-season supports—a tomato cage or a single stake—will be enough. But garden veterans know: plants don’t stay small for long. And tomato cages suck.
Indeterminate tomatoes, cucumbers, and pole beans can sprout faster than expected, often outgrowing the simple rigid structures you installed at planting time. What can you do?
That’s where C-BITEs shine.
(For proof: the raised bed pictured above has five tomato cages—and not one needed to be removed.)
🍅 A Better Tomato Cage
Once your indeterminate tomatoes hit 2–3 feet and start flowering, they’ll likely tower past a standard wire cage and start growing horizontally (eek!). Don't fret and don't remove it—which can disturb roots, snap stems, or (worst of all) endanger your prized tomatoes —simply build around and upward.
Simply insert uprright garden stakes around the existing cage and use a C-BITE Plant Support Maker Kit to connect them, giving your tomatoes the vertical support, sunlight and airflow they need the thrive with uprooting or damaging the plant.
Pro Tip:
As your plant grows, you can remove the lower crossbars from your original C-BITE trellis and reuse them higher up. Think of it like scaffolding—adjustable and reusable.
🌬️ Repair Storm Damage—Fast
Nature throws curveballs. Strong winds or surprise rain can weigh plants down. And sometimes, your cucumbers or beans seem to double in size overnight. With C-BITEs, you can quickly add reinforcement without having to undo what’s already there.
C-BITEs make it easy to add emergency support without dismantling what’s already in place.
Pro Tip: Keep a few spare stakes and C-BITEs handy in your garden shed so you're ready for last-minute fixes. Think of them as your “first aid kit” for floppy plants.
🔄 Build As You Grow
Gardens don’t stand still, and your support system shouldn’t either. With C-BITEs, you can build around existing cages, extend upward as vines stretch skyward, or brace sideways when things lean.
Pro Tip: Connect C-BITE clips back-to-back to extend the reach of a stake.
♻️ Reusable, Modular, and Ready for Next Season
Plants grow. Plants change. And then, just as suddenly, the season ends. Luckily, C-BITEs are designed to grow and adapt with your garden—and then disassemble with ease.
When fall rolls around, simply unclip, rinse, and store them for next year. They’re tough, UV-resistant, and made to be used season after season.
Your garden is always growing.
Now, your supports can grow with it.
