MONDI BAMBOO STAKES
$3.86 – $7.74 USD
Bamboo works well for different types of stakes to help keep your plants upright because it is lightweight, inexpensive and durable. Simply push a bamboo pole into the ground until it is stable, and tie the main stem of your plant to the pole with plant ties or twine. For more elaborate staking for larger plants or for climbing vegetables, build a bamboo tripod by inserting three poles into the ground and tying them together at the top.

Description
Why Bamboo?
It’s super strong.
With a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel and concrete, Mondi bamboo stakes are undeniably strong. Despite an incredibly high tensile strength, bamboo is also extremely flexible. Because of this, bamboo has been used as a construction material to build houses, boats, and furniture. It’s also been used to make utensils, baskets, floormats, fencing, and even toilet paper.
It stores carbon.
Because of its vigorous growth rate and ability to take in carbon dioxide (like all plants), large stands of bamboo have the potential to store (or “sequester”) carbon. Climate change is largely driven by increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. By sequestering carbon, plants and soil can help slow and prevent global warming. And bamboo is particularly good at it — in one study, a stand of bamboo stored 2-4 times more carbon than a stand of red pine and fir trees of a similar acreage.
It’s biodegradable.
Unlike plastic products, untreated bamboo is biodegradable and YES, even compostable. It will take a lot longer to compost than the usual grass clippings and kitchen scraps; bamboo contains lots of lignin (a compound similar to cellulose) which is what makes it incredibly rigid but also slow to decompose.
What to Consider When Buying Stakes
Before you buy your new stakes, think about:
- Which plants do you need them for and how big they are likely to grow? This determines the length of stake you need.
- How strong do you need your stakes to be? Will they be supporting a lot of weight? This determines the thickness of the cane you need.
- How many plants do you want to grow?
- How many plants can each cane support?
- Would a structure such as a hoop or a trellis be useful?
