I’m happy to say that an

experiment I tried this winter

worked and was inexpensive to do.
As we all know, a good stiff wind

can flatten a plot of three-gallon

3-foot-tall arborvitae, pines,

or hollies in an afternoon. How
to keep them upright easily and

inexpensively is the hard part.

Using a pole-like
staple setter with a
magnet on the end
helps anchor pots
into the ground and
reduce wind damage

to nursery stock
