Heavy Duty Garden Stakes - Stronger Holding Power vs Metal Landscape Stakes - Made in USA - Biodegradable Over Time (No More Rusting Metal) (75, 6" EcoDuty Stakes)

I got 75 of them and now I need to find a use for about 50. I'm sure over time I'll find uses. I'm finding the stakes sturdy. They go into the ground nicely and accomplish their goal of holding down irrigation lines. I don't see a con here.

Our soil is hard shale, very rocky. These did not work for us. They were not sturdy enough for our needs.

I used the stakes to pin a germination blanket over a trench i dug in my yard. After putting topsoil i reseeded the trench. They seem pretty solid and holds the seed germination blanket in place. Only time will tell how long they will biodegrade. But overall a solid product for the price point. I would recommend it for any landscaping project.

Quality product and very strong for being biodegradable. Much stronger then I expected and the design keeps them from pulling out of the ground. Have bought 3 bags in total an will by more when needed.

Fairly easy to break if you happen to hit a rock. Product won't bend around a rock as well as thinner metal landscape staples do. If you try moderate force to accomplish full installation with rock in the way they will break leaving a sharp edge exposed. metal staple bends and flattens in similar circumstances.

I found these to be easy push into different textures of ground, both softer and more hard. None broke in the process although I was careful to apply pressure evenly.

These are cheap and brittle. In addition to breaking easily they do not stay in the ground as advertised. Complete rip-off!

Very good product, the first set of steaks I've found that actually hold my 160' slip n slide down. Im 220 lbs. Jumping down hill and these spikes didnt move had to use pliers to pull them out of the ground. Supper impressed.
