rust will not kill the plants, I have been using rebar for years without any
problem.
as for that matter the iron is good for them.

If you buy "rebar," metal rods about 3/8" in diameter made to
reinforce concrete, you can push them into the earth very easily.

And they will last almost forever.

You can get them at building supply centers. Get 20 foot pieces and
cut them (or have tghem cut) into thirds, or buy pieces about seven
feet long.

DO NOT use "rebar" for plant supports. The rust from them
can kill your plants and they look like crap after just a
few weeks. There are MUCH better items to use for plant
support.
