Someone told
me I need metal tomato rings. (snip) Can I make them out of
any sort of recyclable item? I have a scrap metal pile, any ideas?
Maybe just wooden sticks?????

Yes. The wooden stakes are usually installed as the tomato seedlings
are planted to prevent damage to the roots by driving them in later.
Just tie the tomato loosley to the stakes with anything (old stockings
are good)
