Cane Source
« on: April 05, 2010, 09:25:50 pm »
Hey guys, I saw mention of cane from Lowes sold for tomato stakes? I saw some that were dyed green, 25 per pack. This the right stuff? If so the green came off on my hands. Does the dye come off, other than enough to annoy me and make a mess?

FWIW, I went to my local Lowe's, and the unstained ones were selling for .98 apiece. I think you can do better than that from some of the online cane suppliers. If I can find the addresses, I'll post them.
