To keep your pots and containers from tipping over.
I push rebar through the soil in the pot and out the hole on the side of the pot.
1/2 inch rebar is cut into 24 inch lengths pushed into the ground.
Bigger pots use longer rebar,usually one piece will do....your call.
There is nothing worse than a bent pstem from a pot that has tipped over and has gone unnoticed for a couple of days.
