RE: Garden Stakes a la Mel

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I found some nylon-coated steel tomato stakes about 18" long at my local
True-Value.  I used a hack-saw to cut them into 6" lengths.  They're quite
easy to bend into hooks.  I use them to keep my plant cages firmly planted.
