Just how do you store your rebar? Should it be kept shedded?

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.

Or better yet,
You can go to Home Despot and let them cut it for you...first two cuts are
free,after that 25 cents a cut. I'm sure other home centers also offer free
cuts. No need to buy torches,or shears or new blades for that cutting. Let
them waste their own blades. And save your equipment...also easier to
transport........
