Comments about Earth Staples:
Great product & am back to buy more. They last much much longer than my clothes hangers bent into stakes. Deer have gotten the message to come here to eat so I must net everything. These staples keep the netting in place, are easy to see under foliage & last yr after yr. I just wish I ordered more in my first order. The disks work ok too.

Comments about Earth Staples:
I've used these staples for years. They're a fast and easy way to hold down string when I'm making lines for borders or straight rows in the vegetable garden. They're useful for securing netting or twine to the ground for peas, beans, or climbing vines. I've also used them to hold row cover fabric in place as a barrier for some bugs. They're a very useful thing to have.

These are a must have for the tomato towers listed on this site... the towers are so tall that a gust of wind could possibly lift them up. The staples keep the towers in place. I use the staples for the tomato towers and cages. They are sturdy.
from Montvale, NJ on 5/17/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
These staples were extremely handy when it came down to covering all low ground entry points with our deer barrier. The one thing I was hoping was that it would not bend so easily when it hits a rock. We have a lot of rocks our soil.
from Southampton, PA on 5/17/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
After the need to hold the row cover in place has passed, the loop makes it very easy to extract the pins and remove the cover. They do not become loose by themselves and discourage the squirrelw & rabbits.

from south-east Michigan on 5/5/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
As soon as I plant anything, large or small, hardworking dedicated varmints rush to dig it up again -- but several circles of these staples somehow persuade them that the buried treasure (food) isn't right there under the new flower after all. And if you have a lot on hand, you can always use them as intended by the manufacturer too!

We had a freak spring cold snap so I covered my vegetables with all purpose row covers and anchored them with these staples. I ran out and got another pack at a local garden store, They were lighter weight, shorter and somewhat flimsier. After just a couple of days the new earth staples were rusted but the Gardener supply ones were not.

from Sanbornville, NH on 4/20/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
I bought these extra-long staples last summer to anchor my metal supports that I use for growing peas, beans, and tomatoes. They were very effective in stabilizing these supports. I liked these staples so much that I purchased more this year. If your garden is in a windy area you will still need poles as additional insurance.
from Albany, NY on 4/19/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
The plain u staples worked best when holding down plastic mulch/landscapers mulch in your garden with the disk so they don't disappear into softer soil. It's better to keep them flat so you don't trip over them when moving through the garden. They hold the mulch perfectly. No shifting what so ever. Softer sandy soil is another matter.
from Big Thicket Texas on 4/18/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
I find these so usefull. I use for weed barrier.
But they are great to hold down yard art.

Comments about Earth Staples:
I won't know how well this product holds up until I use it for an entire season but for now the earth staples seem sturdy enough for my use. They were not difficult to place with a soft mallot and I have a lot of clay. They will also be useful for anchoring Christmas decorations so they will get year round use.

from Edmonds WA on 3/14/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
These earth staples are great for anchoring down landscape cloth or insect barrier cloth to the ground and are much more effective than the rocks I was using (rocks can harbor insects or slugs). They last forever and are very cost effective. Being rust resistant, they shouldn't rust like other stapes I've bought in the past. I bought two sets of the extra tall ones, which are more than enough for my small garden. I can also use them to anchor the drip hoses in the soil.

Comments about Earth Staples:
Bought 1 pack of 10 last year & they worked so well in my sandy soil that I bought 2 more packs this year. Other staples that I've tried just pull away, but these are very long and very heavy duty. I use them to fasten down my bean towers and my pea fence against summer storm winds. I even used them to stabilize outdoor Christmas displays in December. At the end of the season, they were just as good as new and I plan to build up quite a stock of these!
from Montrose, CO on 3/2/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
The winds of spring don't abate here in the Rocky Mountains until the snow is off the nearby peaks of the San Juan mountains, and the winds have no respect for row covers, tomato cages, newly potted plants, and almost anything else that bares its face to the incessant flow of fury that seeks to frustrate the gardener. Anything that can hold things in place are a must have!
from North Central Massachusetts on 2/23/2011
Comments about Earth Staples:
I have used these staples for the last couple of years in my garden. They are perfect for fastening fabrics such as row cover, as well as heavier materials like plastic mulch. They don't tear the fabric as much as the lighter staples. Neither does the wind rip them up. However, when you want to remove them, they come out with no tugging, no digging or leverage required. I highly recommend them and they are emminently re-useable.

from Franconia, NH on 11/26/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
Being my first year with blankets and stakes I don't know how they hold out regarding rust but I first put them in the ground in September. Some have been removed for the winter and some remain in the ground. None show any indication of rust, discoloration or corrosion of any kind. I use them with the disks. I believe the disks spread the pressure on the various levels of blanket and have not had any tearing. I LOVE the loop at the top. It's easy to grab and pull. Absolutely excellent idea and design.
from Milwaukee, WI on 11/24/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
I loved the fact that there is a loop that makes these easy to pull out. Be careful using your foot pushing them in though...I had one bend on me even though I think they are very sturdy.

I used the extra long earth staples to lay rubberized mulch walkway between my raised beds for vegetables. They have been doing their job for a whole season. Occasionally I've bonked one back down with a rubber mallet as it worked its way upwards, but only a tiny bit rose.

Used one staple with each tomato tower and even though my plants were over 6 feet tall, the towers did not blow over and very heavy winds and rain.
from Long Island, NY on 9/27/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
Last year I bought the regular earth staples at 3 inches to hold down weed barrier and they were great. When I reordered this year, the regular staples are 6 inches and cannot handle the job. They bend out of shape when they go in the ground.
Also the currently sold weed barrier is inferior to the one sold last year. It is wispy thin and difficult to install. Last year's product was superior in every way. Easy to install and did a great job.
from memphis tn on 9/20/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
I like the easy out staples the best, especially with the bird netting. Use the extra long staples also, because I ordered them first and were very helpful to stake supports.
The easy out with disks have helped protect from tearing the cloth covers.

I used the deep earth ground staples for my heavier garden support structures like the tomato towers and the cucumber trellis. Helps to easily anchor the structures without unsightly ropes/twine. I used the regular earth staples for the smaller garden support structures like the veggie cages. Both earth supports are strong and easy to use.

I gave these as a gift to a gardening friend who was having trouble taming ivy in her yard, and she loves them! They are strong enough to keep the ivy where she wants it and easy to move around as the ivy "learns" where it's supposed to be!! Also, unobtrusive, so you see the yard and garden, not the hardware!

from Ypsilanti, MI on 7/16/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
I used the shorter staples and the earth disks to hold down row cover; I used the longer earth staples to anchor tomato cages. They do what they are made to do. The only reason I marked a 4 instead of a 5 is that they seem a little on the pricey side; on the other hand, they seem like they should last a long time, so if you pro-rate the cost compared to having to re-order a bunch of flimsier ones, I have to say you get what you pay for.

Comments about Earth Staples:
Earth staples are very helpful in securing weed blocking material or mulch mats. It adds a safety feature by securing material that can easily roll and become a hazard. I always keep a supply on hand as they come in handy for a number of garden uses

from Keene NH on 7/3/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
The staples don't fit that well through the holes of the composter I bought, though I was told to use them to secure it to the ground. They were hard to put through the holes on an angle and some of them bent. But I guess they are holding OK. I would recommend but not glowingly. Wish there was something more specifically made for this use.

This product has so many uses. I have used to keep animal pests from my garden, by anchoring my net fencing along the bottom. These staples are handy to keep small irrigation hosing in place in flower beds. I have used it to anchor tarps for cover on the ground. I am sure I will find many more uses as I work in my yard and garden.

I love these 10" staples! I have used them to secure tall gazing ball stands to prevent them from tipping and you hardly see them once they are in the ground.

I bought the earth staples to hold down strips of rubber mulch around new beds. Later, when I build still more beds, I was delighted to find something similar locally. The ones I bought at Gardener's Supply were sturdier. Those I bought locally rusted before I finished installing the rubber mulch. Both worked, but the first are better quality and will obviously last longer.

Comments about Earth Staples:
These staples cost considerably more but won't rust like others on the market which makes the staple near useless for using over once rust sets in. This makes them ideal for using over and over; as well they can be easily disinfected. Used mostly for securing weed block/plants around garden, trees, and shrubs.

Granted I've now used only the easy-out staples, but their ease of use makes them seem well worth the additional marginal cost over the regular earth staples. Just in case it's not to clear to someone else, the earth disks do not come with the 'Easy-Out Earth Staples' (guess the picture on the left threw me off, plus I didn't read the item description closely). I'd recommend purchasing the earth disks as well though, they really help to hold plastic mulches in place.

from Idaho on 4/7/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
The catalog doesn't say what the earth discs are made from (I wish it did) - it looks like recycled rubber. If you are putting landscape fabric in an area where it will be walked or driven on or equipment will be moved over it, these will reinforce the staples and keep the fabric from tearing. And as the catalog says, they make it easy to pull staples out without damaging landscape fabric. I have not seen them for sale anywhere else. Have been using them for several years. They are a functional and useful product with a moderate cost.
from New Orleans, La. on 4/7/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
I use these in combination with Earth Staples and weed block fabric on paths in my gardens. I believe they hold better that the staples alone and, after a year in use, have not loosened at all. I can get the staples locally but continue to buy the discs from this great company.
from Idaho on 4/7/2010
Comments about Earth Staples:
My soil is heavy clay with lots of pebbles and cobbles. The staples I received looked to be made from aluminum or some soft recycled metal. They bent double at the first whack of my hammer. Have no idea why these are described as "heavy duty". If you have a loamy or sandy soil with no rocks these will work just fine, but I would recommend these only if the soil conditions were other than clay and rocks. (I have to buy 6 inch steel staples, which can be pounded in the ground with no problem.) In my opinion Gardener's Supply should put a caution statement in the catalog to advise customers where these may not be usable - it cost me $15 to return my packages for credit.

Compared to the Earth Staples, the others were flimsy--they bent easily if they came in contact with a rock when I was putting them into the ground. The only downside of the Earth Staples is that they're silver, so they're noticeable against the brown rubber edging. But I've found that if I color the tops with a brown permanent marker after I hammer them in, they blend in very well.

These Easy Out Earth Staples worked well, lasted more than 1 season (other staples that I bought at a hardware store rusted after 1 season and had to be thrown away). I used these along with the Earth Disks which made them very easy to pull out. Earth disks may have also helped to keep the Weed Mat from fraying.

These work very well with the composting bins that they sell. They keep them in place. I would highly recommend to use.

These are so much better than the ground staples my neighbor picked up at the local big box hardware. They go into the ground easily (as long as I miss the rocks in the bed), even tolerate hammering in. I'm pleased.

Comments about Earth Staples:
The photos and the description are misleading. It appeared to me that the discs came with the medium length staples, so I did not order the staples separately. So now I have the discs but no way to use them.

When mulching mums for the winter, I cover them with leaves then yard cloth. I used the stakes, rather than lugging the bricks as I have in the past, to secure the cloth. They held well in 30 mph winds.

We use this product to keep our ground covers down. We also use to keep our watering lines down in our raised beds. The only complaint we have is it rusts out after a couple of years.

Used these to hold down landscaping fabric. They were easy to insert and I like having the loop at the top so they can easily be removed/moved.

Using earth staples and eath disks made it fairly easy to pull out after cleanup.

I used this product to reinforce the bean towers I purchased form Gardeners Supply. I also used these staples to put down landscaping fabric. Very effective.

Comments about Earth Staples:
We are using these to hold down landscape cloth where we walk a lot. These are so long that we will probably never be able to remove them. (Slight exaggeration, but not by much.)
