I stake my plants using 5/8" thin wall conduit which is
available at Home Depot for about $1.50 for 8' lengths.
It can be cut to desired length with a tubing cutter.

There is an alternative to staking and caging. I have some 4x7 foot
frames with 2" mesh stretched across them. I use them for tomatoes as
well as beans, etc.. Of course I also pinch out side shoots on the
tomatoes.

The frames are made from redwood 2x2s and attached to my 4x4 raised beds.

and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
