I've got a pile of 7/8 conduit. maybe 500 ten footers. And i need to make
tomtato stakes for 150 plants. I checked growers out in FL this winter. They
use rebar with the advantage being the tying twine you run down the row
doesn't slip - just loop and pull tight. Here I'm thinking buy rebar. How do
you use conduit for tomato plants? Specifially, how do you tie to this slick
stuff?

Keep in mind that most conduit is Galvanized (Zinc) plated. No
Welding without removing the Zinc.


Kevin, after removing the zinc, what rod do you use to attach tomato
stems to the conduit? silly grin

Tomato Paste? sillier grin
