- Has your garden gone intensive?
- Did you plant 3 times the number of plants normally required to fill that space?
- Are you promoting diversity to the fullest extent?
- Is that little seedling planted by the path, now in the path?
Holler for BAMBOO!!! Bamboo will come to the rescue!
Prop them up, push them back,
Vertically direct them skyward bound.
Bamboo is the greatest material to have around.
Stake N Weave

*** First, Tie back the plant, or prop it with a stick,
then you can perform the stake n' weavers' tricks.
Then, stick some bamboo in the ground.
At least Three sticks in a row,
makes rods for a weave.
Now, with a smaller bamboo stick,
weave across - out, in, out.
With another stick, weave across - in, out, in
Now you are a Stake N Weaver.
You can repeat this on all sides of the plant, in the shape of a square, a triangle, or whatever suits your fare.
You can make these without using any string,
But if the plant gets top heavy,
tie the stake at the top to the weavers,
or everything might just go ...
SPROING!!!
