Staking Plants
Plants that require staking should be staked in such a manner
as to not pose an impalement hazard. Stakes should be blunt or
round ended. Use old tennis balls to cover the end of stakes. Crimp
or cover any sharp barbs or ends on fencing and other materials
used for staking. Use string as opposed to wire to secure plants to
the stakes.
