Give tomatoes, capsicums, climbers and young trees reliable support with steel and PVC garden stakes. Plastic-coated steel stakes combine the strength of steel with a weatherproof coating that resists rust and is easy to clean, while solid PVC stakes are light, rot-proof and reusable season after season. Choose lengths that allow at least a third of the stake to sit in the ground. Use soft ties or clips to secure stems without cutting in, and pair with trellis and cages for vigorous crops.
