That was my idea. U bolt cable clamp maybe washer. Now I know
something to ask for at the hardware store and not get a blank look from
the young guys that help you. They do their best and you do get waited
on there, usually quickly. Thank you

Sometimes you have to do the next best thing. I do have some concrete
rubble I could fill the pepsi bottles with which would be heavier than
dirt and the bottle would keep most of it contained (don't want that
stuff back in the planting areas). I could fill them just before I
cover with dirt so I won't scratch up the paint as bad. I'm
anticipating touchup maintenance every so often so they don't rust and
will last longer. As if that matters because I am getting up in years.
