Drive a stake about a foot into the ground near each plant. Use wood, bamboo or plastic stakes, or make your own stakes with scrap materials. Tie a loose loop around the plant stem, and a knot around the stake.

Use gardening tape or twine. Secure the end of the roll to one of the lower branches. Starting at the bottom, circle the entire plant with the tape or string. Finish by tying a knot at the top of the support structure.

Find the lower, beefy part of the branch which is below the fork. Wrap your tie around that part of the branch. Tie a double knot. Reach your tie around the tomato's support system, and tie another double knot there.

You might also try the stake and weave method. For a long row of plants, place a stake in the ground between each one and at each end of the rows. Then, tie the garden twine off at the stake at one end and weave it back and forth between the plants and stakes, tying it off tightly to each stake when you get to it. Then repeat weaving the other way.
