I've been using 7' x 3/4 bamboo for tomato trellising since close to 20 yrs. Mine lasts
5-6 years before i get some splits and breaks. Extremely strong and long lasting if thick.
Very easy to push down into my soil with just two hands. The added strength is in
proper cord lashing.
I can put up a 30 ft trellis in about an hour without any help. I get extremely high winds
so the strength it provides is important. No digging, no sweat.

I have a house near me that is about to be swallowed. I should leave a note in their
mailbox....
