Troubleshooting

Sticks are difficult to insert into the ground.

Soak the ground with water prior to insertion. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the sticks into the soil. Consider using a pilot hole for hard or compacted soils.

Sticks are bending or buckling under the weight of the plants.

Increase the number of support sticks. Use thicker twine or additional supports for heavier plants. Ensure the sticks are inserted deep enough into the ground.

The coating is peeling or flaking.

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight. Store the sticks in a shaded area when not in use. Replace any sticks where the coating is extensively damaged to prevent rust.
