ABSTRACT:
A plant support is constructed comprising a plurality of rectangular sections where the adjoining edge of each section is connected by a hinge mechanism. The hinges allow movement of each section so the plant support can be used in a straight open configuration or used to enclose any desired area from nearly circular to rectangular. Each section is constructed to form lattices with the voids in the lattices large enough for harvesting and weeding the enclosed plant but small enough to protect the plant from animals. The plant support is held upright by vertical support rods that are not permanently attached to the plant support. The independent vertical support rods thus can be placed at any desirable location and can be driven into the ground to any desirable depth. The height of the plant support can be increased by attaching, to the vertical support rods, another plant support above the bottom of the lower plant support.
