Description:
The Step Stake is used as plant support by tying the plant to the stake at any level. You will see that the stake is designed with four circles on each tube to prevent slippage when tying the plant to the stake.
You will see there are four drain holes on the bottom of the step stake, two on each side. This allows the gardener to pour water into the tube, the water will filter directly to the roots where it is needed. This is very efficient, environmental friendly and there is no water wasted. When watering is needed 2 cups is probably adequate.
Directions:
Push stake firmly into the ground, pull the stake back up one inch, pour a cup of water into the stake and push the stake back down. This will flush the soil out of the four drainage holes. Insert the first tube into the stake and tie your plant to the tube. Tubes are approximately 14 inches long. As your plant grows simply insert another tube for a taller plant support. Watering the plant through the tube will water directly to the plants root system. Be sure not to over water your plants. (Over watering is known to cause tomato end rot.)
