Handmade Redwood Vegetable Garden
Stakes
By R. L. Ludwig
Are you are trying to find a special gardening gift for your
favorite green thumb? Instead of giving a garden tool as a gift,
consider distinctive handmade garden stakes, the perfect unique
gardening gift.
Vegetable garden stakes make perfect garden markers. As a garden
decor gift, any backyard vegetable gardener will truly appreciate.
Not only that, they also make great gardening collectables.
There is nothing more appealing than gazing at a cultivated
vegetable garden where all of the vegetables are recognized with
handmade stakes. It is not only attention-grabbing, it is sure to be
a huge hit. Keep in mind that the more unique and stunning the
garden stakes are, the more they will be valued by the recipient.
Although metal garden stakes are to some degree popular, there is
nothing more exciting than a garden marked off with hand crafted
vegetable garden stakes.
The garden stakes ought to be made from two pieces, a block and a
REPLACEABLE round 1/4-inch birch wood dowel (used for the stake).
The rectangle block is made from first-class concluded and it is
sanded to a smooth finish. The redwood wood block measures:
1-3/8-inches wide x 4-inches long x 3/8-inches thick.
A multicolored image of the vegetable in addition to the vegetable
name is transferred to the redwood rectangle block. The rectangle
block is then treated with several layers of varnish to protect it
from the sun and weather. For example, the wood block for the green
beans garden stake has a beautiful crisp image of a bunch of string
beans, together with the vegetable name of BEANS.
The replaceable 1/4-inch round wood dowels are available at most
home hardware supply centers in lengths of three and four feet. One
convenience of replaceable stakes is that you can cut them to any
length that you want. The most popular lengths are between twelve
and eighteen inches.
You can use a hand-held pencil sharpener to slightly bevel the ends
of the 1/4-inch birch wood dowel-stake. The beveled ends make it
much easier to insert the wood dowel into the redwood wood block and
into the ground in your garden.
When you’re looking to give a gardening gift that will be treasured
for years to come, give hand crafted vegetable garden stakes. The
stakes are not only appealing they give the receiver many years of
enjoyment as they gaze over their garden.
