Default tomato stakes
(Allview) expounded:

I went to our local lumber yard to buy tomato stakes. They sell 6' stakes
pointed on one end for fifty cents each. The clerk asked, "Is treated wood
o.k.?". Thought we had a dealbreaker right there but they did have untreated
wood. I wonder if they sell many of the treated? Who buys them? What effect
do they have on the tomatoes?

I wouldn't buy them. Then again, I spent about $1.29 each to buy the
green coated metal stakes, that never have to be replaced.....you can
usually find them at any garden center, Walmart, KMart, etc. Well
worth the investment!
