  1. Wow, this is a great idea ; ) Also, it looks like you're employing something like the Back to Eden, woodchip gardening method. I was wondering, did you just top sow your clover onto the woodchips?

  2. Hey, I use strips of old T-shirt’s. They are free and I don’t mind tearing the strips from the T-shirt. I can make them as loose or as tight as I want. I really like ‘free’.

  3. This is a great idea, THANKS !! I worked for a chain link fence installation company and that is when I realized I needed to keep these on hand for MANY things, but this is a new one, THANKS !!!

  4. I usually use hemp twine and the vertical string method, tied from the top of the trellis to the base of the plant. But this is a great idea for side branches and sprawling plants like squashes. I'll definitely try this.

  5. Could also use 2 small plastic cable ties in a Figure-8 (one loosely around the stem to allow growth expansion, the other one around a stake or trellis – & interlock both). This is more rigid than string & less likely to cut into the plant stem. The ties are re-usable at season end, once you get the hang of unzipping them!
    You could also use just one loose cable tie around the stem & tie it with string to your supporting stake/trellis.

  6. Awesome idea. It doesn't work in my circumstances as I need to use the string method, but it's so useful. I can see it working for melons, squashes etc. Thanks.
