What do y'all market growers use for tomato stakes? Those T-posts are getting mighty expensive, around $3 a piece in this area. For cherry toms and indeterminates I use a post every 8 feet or so then sandwich the plants between twine to hold them upright. Does anyone have a less expensive method for staking? This method comes to about $40-50 bucks per 100 foot row. I'm setting up about 25 new rows this year and hoping to find a cheaper way to hold up the tomatoes.

Edited to say:
YIKES! It looks like they're upwards of $4+ now! ouch!
