Since seeing the spiral stakes used by Living the life in Saint-Aignan over in the Loire Valley I have been hankering to try some. I held off as I wasn’t sure how to secure them in pots. However having got some larger pots (Diameter 39cm, Depth 28.5 cm) I caved into temptation and bought 5.
They are held at the top by the lip of a fence panel which may or may not work but otherwise I like them. It’s early days and the plants don’t have enough height to twirl round them but I can see how it’s going to work and that should be well !
In the Super U in France they cost less than a Euro each and 20 were purchased. I got 5 at £2.99 each from Wilkinson. But we won’t dwell on that !
Has anyone else given them a whirl ?

Hi,
I saw the spiral tomato stakes when I was in France this summer and they were so nice! Do you know how I can purchase some in the U.S.?
Thanks,
Sonya (California)
Hi Sonya,
Thank you for getting in touch. The spirals are great and very easy to use to support the tomatoes.
Sorry I don’t know where to source them in the US. But if I come across any details in the future I will let you know.
Ocean State stores in USA have them for $2 each i bought 10
