For the sake of potentially sounding crazy.........

Bought an older house. The previous owner (who I never met/talked to)
stuck one-foot sections of rebar (like they use to reinforce concrete)
into the soil around the garden. The rebar is "planted" vertically
(with about six inches protruding from the soil) and is spaced about
six feet apart and is connected together with thin , bare wire.

Anyone have a clue as to what the purpose of this is??????




I would guess that (s)he was dividing the garden up into individual
plots so that (s)he could organize his(er) plantings (and keep track of
rotations) and the rebar/wire was something (s)he just had lying about
so (s)he used it.
