i start gy using a 4' survey stake [ easilly obtainable from a hardware store by the bundle ] or you can do what i do,, i just grab them off the side of the road. once a project that they were placed there for is over,,,,, no-one comes by to re-claim them.... they are removed by those that clear or mow the right-of-way,,,,
i start by putting a nail on both ends about 4'' from the ends.... and then one in the dead center. to hold and wrap my wire around,
...
i got a nail in the table on both ends that i use to hold the stake still while i work.... run tobaccoo on the wire, spaced a little for air flow,
when u reach the center nail.. give it a good wrap around that nail. and proceed,
some say to string them back....to,,,face but i dont go that route. i go by the shape of the leaf vs the sahape of the leaf it's next to,
...sometimes i may stab the wire thru the side of the stem if thats the way to get the angle i want,,
heres my finished product and as you can see .. good airflow will not be a issue,
...
ive seen some wild to mild stringing techniques and only one thread mentioning it. so i hope this helps,
and all you got left is to frame your drying area up to compensate hanging the stakes on... ive used 2x4's in the past to make some nice hanging racks with
here they are.. last years grow.notice how i framed it up. to hold the stakes,
...
well thats my hanging technique. and ive found it to be very productive,,, as the leaf dries. ill push them tight on the wire, and add more green leaf to the same stake. thus taking a stake that holds 40+ green leaf. to now having possiblly 60 leaves on it... it's very good for tight spaces. you'll have a lot of leaf hanging in a relative small space,
