Tony, I buy mine from DX Engineering. Can get them in a bag of 100 I believe at a reasonable price. You can find them at Lowe's or Home Depot in small quantities in the Garden Center but they're awfu

You should never use steel staples in the ground. Think for a minute. They are sharp, rusty objects that stay a long time. Imagine a barefoot child playing in the area (after you are SK possibly). Im
