Good points. However, unless the stakes are treated, they rot (with a few
exceptions), and in active soil do it quickly. I've seen non-treated
hardwood stakes not last a full season. If they are treated, they can't be
used in an organic program, and, as you said, they can harbor disease,
especially in the hot, humid South. And, unless you live in a vegetable
growing region, they usually have to be ordered, with shipping being costly.
Every grower has to evaluate his/her own situation for the best solution.

An acre of tomatoes on 6ft rows Florida weave eats up 2000 stakes, I don't
think HD would be too happy with the request. Wood stakes come 1400 to a
pallet
all neatly bundled and ready to go at around 40 cents each. The nice thing
about rebar is bacterial disease will not live on metal and they don't break
in
two other than that rebar can be quite unpleasant to handle and store.
