Default tomato stakes
(Allview) expounded:

I bought stakes because the plants were coming over the top of the cages. I
like wood because the ties don't slip. I don't mind throwing away the stakes
at the end of the season. Of course, I don't have hundreds of tomato plants.
Question: If you buy stakes taller than 6', who pounds them into the ground?
I'm 5'3" and shrinking.

I just grab hold of them and hang/push them in. But my soil is
basically sandy loam/gravel base, I don't think you could do that with
clay.
