What is the Florida Weave system of staking?

Florida Weave is a system of staking developed for speed. Instead of driving a stake next to each plant and tying the plant to the stake, stakes are driven between each second plant. This saves driving almost 50% of the stakes. String is tied to the large stake at the end of each row, then is looped around each stake down the row. At the end of the row, the string is passed down the other side of the plants so that each plant is growing between two strings. The first string is placed at approximately 10 inches above the ground and another string is added as the plants grow each additional 10 inches. Determinate cultivars generally require three levels of string.
