Had some strong winds last night, my wrappers took a bit of a beating, think what saved me was that Iv`e put mounds of soil around the base of the plants. I think its best if I alsi use string to keep my plants from falling over. Question: do I tie the string from the base, and then tie the plant to the string? Never done the string method before.

try to find some of johnlee1933 old posts. he had some pictures of some of his grow setups with a lot of tips. he grew mainly wrapper tobacco i am pretty sure. if he were here he would be in on this post for sure. i miss his early morning posts.

The pictures are in his grow blogs. 2013 grow blog is under cigar tobacco. 2012 is with the other grow blogs.

An additional aspect of commercial CT Shade growing is that the shade cloth forms not only a canopy above the plants, but also extends as walls (all the way to the ground) on all sides of the field section. This prevents all but the strongest of winds from battering the wrapper leaf.
