The soil in my garden is a mixture of cement, concrete, rocks with very little compacted earth. New housing on the rocky soil .I break in half through the middle much staples (Relatively easy hand) because I could rarely drive the 20cm 2 points without bending .. I therefore plunged through the broken side (~ 10cm). They were essential because I live nearby Sea where there is a lot of wind and my canvas should be maintained. These staples are helped me.
