[quote=Anonymous]Martha Stewart grows a huge peony garden, and she uses a big grid of taught cord. They grow through it. I like to make plant supports from copper. You can get copper tubing at Home Depot and it’s really easy to cut with a handheld tube cutter. They sell connectors that just slide on. You can use nail polish to remove the writing on the pipe, and it will patina beautifully in just a season or two. They also sell flexible copper tubing for refrigerators and copper wire. You can use instructions for making willow plant supports with those materials. Then you just have to have stakes in the ground and either secure the tubing to them with wire or you can slide the copper pipe right down over rebar or any kind of stake that will fit. Basically I’m too lazy to clean up the plant supports over winter, and the copper looks a lot prettier to me than the green coated stuff. [/quote]
