These are also great for stabilizing landscaping lighting cable before using weed block and mulch.Good

Comments about Earth Staples:

These stakes are nice that they go in the ground easily but they also bend rather easily and don't straighten out nicely afterwards.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Holds down weed mats & is easy to remove to use over & over.

Comments about Earth Staples:

We use the extra-long staples in our windy vegetable garden to hold down weed block fabric. The staples go far enough into the clay ground to hold the fabric securely.

These staples bend in clay that hasn't been worked or tilled.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I won't need these until next year but I was happy to recieve the shipment promptly and in good shape. The products were exactly as depicted in the catalog.

Comments about Earth Staples:

USED TO HOLD DOWN DEER FENCE.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used to secure ground cover fabrics to control weeds and make area to set large containers where grass or weeds are not right up against containers. Also used to secure shepherd hook that has 4 legs. It was secured to the ground rather than making bolt holes in the patio.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I live in Hurricane zone and had hoped they had something that secured the unit more.

Hold weed fabric down to ground.

as a hold down for a multitude of things

Comments about Earth Staples:

These earth staples are excellent! They last for years and are really easy to use.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I have created a small 9'x3' veg bed. Slugs, snails and flying insects are all BIG problems. Covering the bed and edging it 3" deep on all sides seems to be working quite well. About every foot in goes one of your staples. The cover is holding well in wind and rain and the vegs are popping up!!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Disks were bigger than I thought they would be. I thought the disks came with pins but did not; advertising of product not clear and confusing. I did like the disks because they make it easier to locate the pins.

Comments about Earth Staples:

work good

Comments about Earth Staples:

Use these to hold down the cucumber trellis, and red plastic "mulch" used under tomato plants.

Comments about Earth Staples:

i like the round disk that prevents it from tearing through fabric and makes it easy to remove.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used the 10" extra tall earth staples to secure an armillary in my front garden. My husband drilled small holes in the feet of the armillary to accomodate the insertion of the staples. The armillary now stands without being blown over in strong winds and has a little extra securiy against theft.

Comments about Earth Staples:

We use garden cloth and staples under mulch for paths around my yard. It is very effective.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I have sandy loose soil and these hold much better than the shorter staples

Comments about Earth Staples:

I simply LOVE these little things. I have some strawberry plants which I've just started I and didn't want the birds to eat them so I took a milk crate and placed it over the strawberry plant and secured the crate with the staples. So easy to pull out and reuse! I'm sure I'll find LOTS more great uses for these staples. They're a must have for any gardener.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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!

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these to anchor the wire fencing around my vegetable garden--keeps the rabbits from sneaking in underneath.

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:

Used them to hold down landscaping cloth in my garden-works great!!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Very effective in stabilizing the weight of a fruiting tomato plant

Attach netting around blueberry bushes to the ground to keep birds out of bushes

Easy to use and remove quickly!

I actually found that I didn't need them as laying a piece of rebar or pipe along the edges of my garden fabric worked faster, simpler and easier

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used it to hold down the bottom of your plastic fencing

Comments about Earth Staples:

After using all around the cloth covered areas of the garden I found rocks easier to move away and just as effective for keeping cloth in place

Comments about Earth Staples:

Easy to use.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The size is great!!!!! and the staples are very strong......

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used with plastic fence. Keeps my pepper robbers (My two Huskies) from my garden.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I bought the disks and staples. I don't often remove garden cloth. After the area is established the staples can be easily removed from the garden cloth using the disks and reused elsewhere. Very handy to have around. I know they will be useful for other than their intended use.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I planted some new shrubs and ornamentals this summer and used the staples to secure my soaker hoses around the new plants. Very efficient; they keep my plants from drying out and save water. I would definitely purchase this product again. I also purchased my soaker hoses from GSC as well.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These are nice and long, not about to 'pop' out easily

Comments about Earth Staples:

stakes are a must with the frost proof cloth. We put cloth over a frame and attached it with these stakes and also up them in ground for stability of frame. Held up in high winds way up in Mountains!

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

Comments about Earth Staples:

I am using the extra long stakes to hold my extra tall bean towers in place. So far even in high winds they have held. We'll see how they do now that the plants have reached the top of the tower.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Product provides for secure tie down of heavier cages and towers. Invaluable to those who live in windy areas.

Comments about Earth Staples:

They only last for 1 season, as expected

perfectly fine stakes - using to hold the wire "tunnels" in the kids' gardens - but after ordering found basically the same thing at [...]for less.

I love the extra-tall earth staples. I have used them to keep weed block fabric and flat border edging in place.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use them to hold down landscape frabric between my veggies in my garden. Then I don't have as many weeds.

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these to hold down the medium expandable willow trellis that kept going over with the wind. They work.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used to use rocks for holding down garden horses, but not any more. The Staples are very sturdy and long enough for stay.

WORKS GREAT TO ANCHOR TOMATO CAGES AND MY WIRE FENCING AS WELL AS KEEPING THE SOAKER HOSE IN PLACE!

Suggested in your catlog to help secure/anchor the towers, but they came with no instructions how to use them, if the postage wasn't so expensive, I would have returned them.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Use them w/ my weed mats to hold down.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Keeping the floating row cover on my plants has never been easier. the combination of the staple and disc is keeping the covers secure and haven't torn the fabric. Really pleased with my purchase

Comments about Earth Staples:

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 have also used them to secure poultry netting to the ground around our chainlink fence to keep rabbits from coming under the fence-works great!! I just wish they would be manufactured in the USA!!

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use them to hold down the chicken wire cages, to keep the rabbits and squirels away!!!

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use them to keep strings in place for my peas and beans. I use them to tack down my winter protective covers which allows me to garden right through December.

Comments about Earth Staples:

great for holding down landscape fabric.

Comments about Earth Staples:

They seem to be holding down my rubber mulch well as long as there are an adequate number placed, particularly around curves. The lawn mover can then ride over them without movement.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used last year with tall tomato towers,however towers have such long spikes they hold well (even in heavy wind), without staples. Purchased more this year to use in anchoring a metal outdoor puppy pen, as these staples are much better than the ones that came with puppy pen.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Just what I needed to maintain the curvaturaes in the rubber mat for lawn & garden edgeing.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Perfect for holding row covers and drip hoses in place

Comments about Earth Staples:

They are sturdy and hold up to being stepped on. However, the one improvement would be that they were sharp points on the end to get into heavy soil easier.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Works great for holding down matting in the garden. very easy to push-in and if nessary to pull out to be set and used somewhere else.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these to hold down fabric row covers (tunnels) - they work well.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I am using the earth staples with the earth disks to hold down weed cloth between two raised beds. They are holding beautifully, the weed cloth hasn't come loose and I haven't tripped over it. I think that's as good as it gets.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These work as intended.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Heavy duty, hard to bend, long enough to keep wire cages securely pinned to the ground. I'm so glad I bought these!

Comments about Earth Staples:

These are a great anchor, the extra tall is my preference .

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use them to hold down my red mulch that I use for my tomatoes

Comments about Earth Staples:

The Easy out Earth Stplae combined with the disk is a wonderful way to hold down netting over strawberries and remay over my currants. The disk prevents tearing of the remay at the ground.

Comments about Earth Staples:

They keep the remay from tearing in the wind

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used the earth disks in conjunction with the earth staples to hold down the landscaper's fabric I placed along the walkways in our garden. Thus far, the disks are working and prevent the fabric from tearing.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use them for holding netting over my strawberries and remay cloth over currants. They hold well and are easy to put in and take out.
They don't leave a very big hole which is nice too.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The earth staples hold the fabric without tearing. We've had 50-60 mph winds, but the earth staples did not let go.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The earth staples work great, keeps mulch in place with ease of application. Great idea!!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Staples work well, holds down landscape fabric even in Kansas winds

I used these to stabilize my 4 sided trellis after I kept finding my clematis laying on it's side and crushing all the lilies under it. I tried various remedies but these were the best and even held up in a horrific thunderstorm with awful winds. I Love them!

Comments about Earth Staples:

These 10" staples work great to hold down soaker hoses in the garden.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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 are very easy to use and very effective.

Comments about Earth Staples:

We have sandy soil so the stakes go in very easy. Hold down plastic mulch in the wind. Also use the long stakes to anchor our tomato cages.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The Earth Staples hold mulch and border materials in place and require no maintaince or work at all, They are great for my use!!

Comments about Earth Staples:

can be easily removed

Comments about Earth Staples:

Keeps down covers from wind and growth

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The Easy-out staples are great for holding garden plant cages & grids in place. No more digging to pull them back out to relocate or at the end of the season!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Invaluable for holding down garden mats and securing tomato cages.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Ordered the Extra-Tall Earth Staples for our Tomato Towers, and they worked so well, I also used them to secure an obelisk tower in our perennial beds. The staples did well in anchoring the obelisk and towers in 30-35 mph wind gusts!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used with tomato towers. They held securely through 2 storms, so far.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I needed these for use in my raised bed. The dirt in the raised bed was soft but below it was a little harder. I noticed as I tried to pound the stakes in with a rubber mallet they bent. I ended up cutting the ends off to make them shorter.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use the ground staples primarily to secure fabric cloth, which we use under small sized stones (pathways/foundation/drainage areas).
I also use the staples to secure soaker hoses in my raised beds.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I've use these with my frost blanket, and to secure a wire fence around my garden. They are fantastic!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Easy to use and gives that extra stability where needed.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used the staples to hold down tomato cages, to hold the cover over my little green house and presently they are holding in place my lawn edging that I did not get dug into the ground quite far enough. They are very helpful.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used them to hold down the cat scats and when we had flash flooding they did not move.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used these to help anchor the bean towers. We have a lot of wind in our area and these made me feel more confident that they will not blow over in a storm. They could be a little heavier to make it a little easier to pound in without bending.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These are sturdy clips that are well made and easy to apply, not flimsy and subject to bending.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used these recently to keep deer fencing in place around two young oak trees that my children received last year for their Kindergarten graduation. The deer fencing had blown over repeatedly due to all of the storms this spring and the young trees got chomped by our resident deer population. Thanks to these stakes the fencing has remained in place and the trees have grown new leaves!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Use the rubber gaskets for best performance.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Also bought the willow trellis, and am using the staples to keep it steady.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used 2 of them to secure the cucumber trellis in my raised bed garden. I have arthritis so I thought easy out loop would eventually help me.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used these staples to secure bird netting over my strawberry plants, and to also hold my ground cover to control weeds. It was also possible and easy to remove to gain access to my plants and replace after harvest.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used Earth Staples to secure an inexpensive soaker hose in my flower bed. The hose curled, and would not lay flat or stay in place no matter how hard I tried. Earth Staples to the rescue, along with Earth Disks, and now the soaker is permanently, unobtrusively placed to maximize the use of water.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I'm using it to hold down the willow teepee which will have Morning Glories climbing through it.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Helps to keep the ground cover down in the wind.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The easy out earth staples are easy to work with. There are a few applications I should have used the regular earth staples so that they are flush with the ground, but these work real well for the projects I am working on.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The staples were sturdy and long enough to hold down the red plastic mulch even with a strong wind blowing. In addition, they were easy to push through the plastic mulch because of the pointed ends.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Holds the weed mat securely.

Comments about Earth Staples:

So easy to use with a weed block, and can find them again at the end of the season.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I like the staples with the rings because they are
easier to find and pull out

Easy to apply and remove. Buy earth disks to go along with this.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The staples work well keeping the red mulch film in place around my tomato plants

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these to hold down my willow trellis and weed mats. They work very well. I do not use them in my vegetable beds, as I dislike putting metal next to my food plants.

Comments about Earth Staples:

a simple solution to anchoring row cover. It does make holes in the fabric, so care must be taken to re-use the holes made by the first "stapling"

Comments about Earth Staples:

So far, no ground hogs or rabbits have slipped under my fence stapled down with this product.

Comments about Earth Staples:

NOT ONLY GOOD FOR LAND SCAPEFABRIC , BUT GOOD FOR HOLDING DOWN HARDWARE CLOTH.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used these to hold down the Eco-composter & rodent screen. The 3 products work great together. The pins hold excellently.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used these earth staples to secure a fence purchased from the same catalog. These staples were very heavy duty and exactly what I needed. They were easy to push into the ground and secured the fence I had just put up around my garden. My black lab dog tried to get under the fence and she finally gave up because these things do not move!

Comments about Earth Staples:

earth staples are very sturdy think they will last a long time

Comments about Earth Staples:

Easy to insert but a little difficult to remove unless you use the ring top type or the ones with the grommet.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use the tall staples to anchor irrigation lines and to hold down wire cages in my windy SC coastal garden, as well as an easy anchor for bird netting over my blueberry plants.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These were great for holding down the rubber mulch but didn't take away from the look of the mulch.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Saves money...You don't have to keep on buying them year after year. They are small but do a big job!

Comments about Earth Staples:

The earth staples are made of high quality steel, easy to push into garden to hold down ANYTHING ... trellis, ground covers, you name it ... great quality at a great price. Very happy with purchase.
If you buy them, buy the disks also ... a must.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I really like these staples. Like everything else these days, they seem expensive, but I do like them and I love the ease with which they come out and can be reused.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Works great to hold the rubber mats.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Worked well with the Recycled Rubber Walkway that I purchased. easy to remove and move if needed.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These really work, best I've ever used

Comments about Earth Staples:

I got these to go into tight spots cause they will be easy to pull out and reposition. Use other staples and discs to hold down newspapers, rubber walkway and your Proffessional Weed Mat. Am so happy I found your company cause it gave me lots of ideas and products I had never seen!

Comments about Earth Staples:

They are great for securing soaker hoses to the ground. The garden area in which I use them get nicely watered. They are also great for use in securing garden border fences. They keep the fences securely in place.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Recycled rubber mats are secure with these staples.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these in the fall when I put chicken wire around newly planted cuttings/trees/shrubs. They stick in the ground and stay put so the rabbits and deer don't eat the new plantings.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use to hold down the cover for my raised beds.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I love this product, it keeps the plactic or cloth from tearing larger from the holes the staples make. Easier to pull out too.

Used to hold down my Tomato Cages and my garden hose.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Anchor for trellis and ladders/top heavy plants

Comments about Earth Staples:

The Extra Tall Earth Staples are well made and easy to use.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Great for securing veggie cages and the wire compost bin. I used the Extra Tall for the compost bin and the Easy Out for the veggie and tomato cages. Very satisfied with this inexpensive purchase.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I have only used two at this time and they both seemed to work well.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used these to keep our drip lines under the mulch in our natural area.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use the Easy Out Earth Staples to hold down the irrigation drip tape on my eleven, 180' blueberry bush rows. They are larger and more sturdy than expected and very easy to use.

Comments about Earth Staples:

We put the reusable matts down between the rows of veggies - the staples hold them in place. Some of the matts we've used for specific things for serveral years (e.g., inbetween rows of peas with holes to plant broccoli or cabbage that does better in the shade once the peas are established.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The perfect way to keep mats in place.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Great parduct, uswed to hold net in place over water garden during the winter. Easy to use. Also used to hold tomato cages in place over summer.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these staples for so many things . . . even to anchor an unruly trellis. They are versatile and tough.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use children wire around my roses and other bushes to protect them from rabbits. The earth staples hold the wire to the ground so that the rabbits can't sneak under

Comments about Earth Staples:

I have been using these staples for years. In New York I used them for landscape fabric but in AZ it is too windy so I found other uses. I use them to hold my drip system in place, keep plants in place, use them as markers because of the wind and many other uses.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I live where the wind blows, the Santa Ana's, and these staples really work.

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.

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.

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used staples to hold plastic prongs in place to deter my cats from digging in my house plants.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used these in largest planter and have had no problem with cats defecating in soil. Cat alarms, tape, drip trays etc. had not been successful in keeping them out of soil.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Being used to stabilize an inground planter pole that also has and augar base with ontop of ground arms that the stakes can hold tight to the ground.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The product is fine. I purchased a similar product, but the pins were made in the USA. Was expecting the same online.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The staples will be used to hold red mulch paper around tomatoe plants.

Comments about Earth Staples:

It's hard to say anything bad about yard staples. I have ordered many items from Gardener's Supply in the past & have always been pleased with service & quality of product. I will continue to be a customer of Gardener's Supply

Comments about Earth Staples:

I have bought over the counter staples but they are difficult to locate when you want to remove them and they rust a lot over one season of gardening. The Earth Staples with the loop on top are easy to find to remove and they are not very rusty at the end of a season.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I love the easy-out staples. They hold the ground cover in place securely and are easy to spot and remove at the end of the season. I won't use any other ground staples.

Comments about Earth Staples:

So easy to use when installing protective cloth to your garden and easy to remove. Wish I had ordered more.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These Earth Staples are a must have in the garden! I use them with the fabric covering my "just sprouting" plants to keep the bugs and beasties off them. Also for plant ID. Take the info off the seed packet and spear it next to the planting. Truly very useful and a multi use item!

Comments about Earth Staples:

We're on our second year of a raised-bad garden 4x48, and these anchor the landscape cloth, and the row-cover very well. With the spring winds in Texas, anchoring is important!

Comments about Earth Staples:

This works well with staples to secure plastic or landscaping fabric. It keeps the fabric from tearing and can be reused over and over. Mine have lasted for years.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used these to anchor the garden grids- they worked great. I'm sure I will find other uses for them in the garden also, like stabilizing arbors and trellises.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used the earth staples to hold down a row cover under my low tunnel. They are very sturdy and long enough to go deep into the soil. I know they will last a long time.!

Comments about Earth Staples:

Great for plastic or fabric row covers.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I always took these Earth Staples for granted until I tried a cheaper version from a major home store chain. 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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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

Comments about Earth Staples:

Very handy for holding down garden covers and anything else

Comments about Earth Staples:

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

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.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Very useful item for many different uses.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used to secure mulch sheets to ground.

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:

Staples are useful for holding garden supports in the ground.

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.)

Comments about Earth Staples:

This is a great product.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I try to cover all of my roses with burlap in the fall. These staples save me much time and frustration. They hold the burlap all winter and make uncovering a lot easier.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used the mulch to cover the area that my dogs run to get to the play area. It takes the hard fast running of large dogs. Helps to keep the dogs cleaner and is easy to pick up any messes they make.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I got them to hold the bean tower in place. They are very secure, and I don't have to worry about the wind pulling the tower down.

Comments about Earth Staples:

This is the best idea I've seen in years for putting down weed barrier. Spend the extra money for them, you won't regret it.

Comments about Earth Staples:

My alleged soil is rock flour/heavy clay with many pebbles and cobbles. I have to pound these in, can't just push them. They bend at the slightest hard spot, clay or rock, and if straightened bend worse and faster when re-used. I've found that as a practical decision for efficient work progress, once they bend I toss them in the trash.

Comments about Earth Staples:

There are just so many ways to use these easy to use - easy to remove ground staples. I use them to hold down paper and black plastic mulch sheets and I use them to hold down the netting over my blueberry and currant bushes. Great idea and much easier to use and reuse than anything else I've tried.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Doesn't hold up a single Garden Grid which I had bought for that purpose. I used the Grid for a single trellis.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used the earth staples to secure bird netting on the enclosure for my blueberry bushes

Comments about Earth Staples:

After making my own staples from clothes hangers, I decided to try something more professional. We must deer net virtually everything in our yard to protect the plants from the omnipresent deer. So, this product is quite the God send. It is rugged, so won't rust out anytime soon, thick so digs into the toughest clay soil here & easy to extract with its round "handle." A must for anyone looking to tack down netting.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these items to hold down the netting covering my strawberry pyramid so the animals and birds don't get the berries.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These rust resistant staples are great for securing row cover and rabbit fence (aka chicken wire). They are especially great for row cover since they do not rust which tears the cover. The coil in the end makes them easy in and out. This year between the rabbits and a family of worm seeking skunks, the only way to keep them from destroying seedlings and young plants has been to cover them with row cover or fence and these staples have been a great help.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use (4) for holding down a round fence, from the wind or whatever might hit it. I used to use wooden stakes, which didn't last, and more work.

My fences are 2' chicken wire 4' long and wired together, to protect young trees, esp evergreens, from deer and rabbits. (Out here in the boonies there's plenty of both). Of course something needs to cover the top (screen or whatever).

And if you need to keep out mice and grasshoppers wrap screen (or whatever) around the sides.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I got a set of the extra-long earth staples, sensing I would need them for my new raised bed garden beds. Well, I did! I used them to secure my bean teepee, and tomato cages, and pea fence, and cucumber trellis, etc. Oh, and my twig obelisk that is now covered with beautiful flowering vines. And when I ordered more items, I ordered more earth staples.

I am totally not worried about winds blowing anything about now. To be extra secure, we used wire ties where we could (on extra-tall items that were touching our deck rails). If you cut off the tag end they are virtually invisible.

So imagine my surprise when a skunk, who hid under our deck, knocked into my bean tower (with plants), making his frantic escape. Noisy rattling, but no damage thanks to our "security" measures.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I used this product to secure the Roc-Cloth into the ground. It was somewhat painful to push in with my hands, so I used my feet which caused some bending. Overall, it allowed me to successful complete the task.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I got the rubber mulch. Used it to make a runway for my dogs. the staples worked easily to secure the mats. I also used them to secure the edges of indoor/outdoor carpet that the dogs play on. We have large show dogs and keeping them clean is always a problem.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Earth Staples are easy and effective. I used them to hold my soaker hoses in place.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these with the long tunnel type covers and with the garden fabric.
I also use them to help hold down your vegetable cages and fencing.
I prefer the ones with the ring at the top so you can just pull them up when you are done.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use these staples in our garden to help hold soaker hoses in place. Also use them to hold landscape fabric in place.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I am currently using these to secure my row covers. I like that they are easy to pull out of the soil, when I need to water, etc.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These garden staples were for the recycled rubber landscaping borders, and they work beautifully!

Comments about Earth Staples:

I haven't used these on anything except the "cat scat" plastic mats & they work great. they're long enough to really anchor the pads to the ground.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I use the easy out earth staples because they are easy to use. I use them to secure tomato cages and row cover.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I loved the staples-very easy to use.

Comments about Earth Staples:

I purchased the staples in conjunction with the coco fiber tree rings. They were sharp enough to easily pass through the fiber and into the dirt. They have stayed in place and have held the rings perfectly.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The staples worked very well securing a weed barrier under crushed stone. They do bend a little too easily in hard earth.

Comments about Earth Staples:

Easy to install for a border between flowers and grass

Comments about Earth Staples:

The pest protection net enclosure that I purchased needed to be staked down so I purchased these stakes with that order. They bent when I pushed them into the ground only using my hands and even when I tried to gently tap with a hammer. This made them a bit of a pain to install, but they do hold the enclosure down.

Comments about Earth Staples:

The staples are great for holding the weedblock mat in place. You need to put several of them on it to hold it securely. It is a great product.

Comments about Earth Staples:

great for intended use

Comments about Earth Staples:

Used the staples to anchor the fencing placed around the garden to keep the critters out and to hold the trellises in place. Very good product.

Comments about Earth Staples:

These were great for securing weed fabric--MUCH better than the rocks I had placed along the edge! They are also just the right width to hold my soaker hoses in place without puncturing. This is especially useful when I first try to unroll the hoses out of storage.

Comments about Earth Staples:

It works well for holding item into the ground

Comments about Earth Staples:

Remember that the earth disks are just that, staples must be purchased separately or made. I missed this point when ordering - the price should have been a clue - and ended up making my own staples, for the amount of work involved and the resulting effect it would have been easier to buy a set. The disks though are very useful in keeping a weed mat down and preventing tearing.

Comments about Earth Staples:

used to hold down fabric

Comments about Earth Staples:

i use this to hold down the awesome lightweight netting and it is working to keep all the critters out of my garden.

Comments about Earth Staples:

used with bean towers

Comments about Earth Staples:

These earth staples worked well for training a trailing plant up and out over an ugly rock wall that faces the street. I had plenty of plants growing down from the top, but needed a few in the narrow space at the bottom to weave between them. Certainly I could have made due with similar looking things from a cut up coat hangar, but these are quicker and they blend in well with the rockery and were easy to use. Good also for anchoring some landscape cloth in areas exposed to high winds.

Comments about Earth Staples:

having to criss-cross(think bobbie-pins) means you need more, but thats for the pea fence otherwise ,to hold down matt,mulch like stuff its great.
