[TowerTalk] Sod staples

[Rick Stealey]

Those should never be used in the ground.  Very dangerous.  Can become missiles if the wire comes loose or hit by a rotary lawn mower.  Plus many years from now will rust, be stepped on by barefoot kids or go through soles of sneakers.  Use wooden dowels.
Sorry, hotmail on an ipad doesn't  allow me to edit out thetext below.

Subject: [TowerTalk]  Sod staples

What worked for me were the large barb wire fence staples.  Go to a
farmers co-op and look for them.  At the one I went to they had bins
with different sizes, and the largest ones were thick with sharp
prongs about 1 1/2 inches long.  Not too long but pound them into the
ground and they'll stay, and they won't bend if you hit a rock.  you
can pound them into cracks in limestone and other more dense surfaces.
They are sold by the pound and when I bought mine I got a pound for
$9.  I have rocky soil and the wire staples bent all the time.
