Does rust do anything undesirable to the plants?Can you tell us the kind? I hate using the rusted rebar. Thanks.
When I researched it, I could find anything in writing about it. So, I just pounded them in. Pretty sure they were 10'. Just a pain to deal with, somewhat heavy and awkward. I do know that the EMT conduit works excellent for the garden. That $2.99 price was really why I was requested the type listed. I can't find anything that inexpensive at that height for my garden. Hell, even the tall bamboo pieces are outrageously priced now.Does rust do anything undesirable to the plants?
I have a ten pack of miracle grow fiberglass stakes, only four feet tall, but stout, so I will try them first.
Also picked up 6 pvc poles today!

Been there done that! Was lucky to survive in one piece! L O L! You’re crazy! Now I’ve got a rusty old pounder out in the barn! Every time I walk past it, I bend over and give it a smooch!That was definitely me, Chuck. It was insanity.
I am definitely.

I need to add more too. My brother is never around when I need these things done. He's smart, huh.![]()
First rule on the job is never hold a stake or anything for someone using a sledgehammer.A t- post Pounder will go a long ways towards keeping you out of the hospital when dealing with long posts! A sledgehammer and a ladder, our a recipe for the ER!
Jack in the beanstalk ain’t got nothing on you.
For anyone just tuning in, I actually trimmed it up that way just to see how much I could go. It was either that to just cull it. It popped up in the pathway mysteriously, lolJack in the beanstalk ain’t got nothing on you.
A miracle grow fiberglass stake. Four feet long. Planted halfway down. (2foot in the ground). They’re pretty stout.@EternalSun
What did you end up using inside there?
Thanks for the great advice!Hey Eternal, hope you can keep your gals vertical with all that weight. I have a tip for supporting tall plants. I take an 8 ft plastic coated steel stake ($2.99 at Lowe’s) and drive it into the ground about 1.5 ft. I then slide a 10 ft x 1.5” PVC over the stake and I have a pole tall enough and strong enough to support the main branch on my 11 footer. You could tie all your branches to one support post and if you need added support, you run one of your long strings from your barn to the post. Just a thought for your tall plants.
