Using a ruler and pencil, we made a mark on the boards according to the height of the plants. We measured its length and width. We calculated how many boards were needed. Then, we measured and marked the location and distance of the holes we would drill to thread the rope onto the boards, using a ruler. In order for the boards to enter the soil more easily, we shaped one end into a stake and marked it in a triangular shape.

Woods was cut to specific dimensions with the help of the decoupage.

Holes were drilled in the cut woods with the help of the drill tool. We left the triangular parts to be buried in the ground at a distance of 20-30 cm, took the part on the surface as 1 meter and drilled 4 holes at 20 cm intervals.

The sticks were placed in appropriate places to protect the tomato plants, and the plants were fixed to the sticks with a rope passed through the holes.
