Yes, that is rebar. Strong and will last forever. Here is a better photo of the staking.

I only had 6 tomato plants last year and I scrounged up 6 cages that my mom wasn’t using. My plants grew ‘great guns’ and ended up collapsing the cages .... quite a mess! I laughed when I saw the rebar .... hadn’t thought about using something like that, but for sure, it won’t bend or break!!
One more question .... what do you use to tie the tomato plants to the rebar?

Your tomatoes are nearly on top of each other. How do you avoid disease? Isn’t your crop yield low? You must water alot for such dense planting.

Great looking garden! I wish I had that much area to plant every year. Time for me to move to the old farm. I use rebar as well, and cut swim noodles into 1 1/2 - 2 inch pieces and but them on the top. I almost took out an eye a few years ago. Get the pink or red. I find them along the road during the summer.

Do you have soaker hoses under that fabric? Or do you just water from above and/or rely on rain?
