Best Twine For Garden Trellis! Don't Buy Anything Else But THIS!

[@witness1449]

I have used jute twine for years, it lasts for a season and is best for tomatoes, plus biodegradable. I clean off all of the jute every year mine never breaks for each season I
use it. 300' roll $4 at Hobby House. Para cord too expensive for tying up plants in the garden, but great for shade cloth and long term applications. that you will use for several years. Electrical wire ties work great for attaching trellises together and attaching cattle panels or fencing to posts. If you're looking for the absolutely most economical way to tie up things in the garden, it's, bailing twine for bailing hay. 3200 ft roll $65. I used a roll that lasted me over 10 years.

bailing twine the sisal kind is great, but I left in where mice chewed it up!

Any jute that I bought and used pretty much disintegrated in a year under this hot Texas sun. No matter how much it cost, it was a waste of money for me. We have a Hobby Lobby 30 miles away and I could not find the thick jute there let alone at that price. The bailing twine also breaks down in the sun too fast for me.

Changing the house water filter provides me with fresh string for every season at no additional cost. For minimal cost the construction string line is surprisingly long lasting

[@witness1449]

@@kevindavis3841 Great idea! I don't use that type of filter but it's a great way to recycle your filters.

@@CountryLivingExperience Yes understandable the sun is brutal in Texas. Not so bad in Southern Indiana. How you liking your solar system?

[@sandrajohnson9926]

We use old baler's twine.
It lasts as long as we need
it for a season to tie up tomatoes, peas, & climbing greenbeans.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Unfortunately, that never lasted for us.

Options are great and it's always good to see how others are doing things and their results. For my indeterminate tomatoes, I use tomato hooks that come with a strong 10m nylon cord that is still thin enough to use with tomato clips... and it lasts. I LOVE the support my plants get with the clips that clamp onto the string and hold it in place, supporting weight. I buy the reddish brown clips which are much more durable than the white ones, a tip received from a pro grower. I will probably always use this method because it works best for me!
The first year of gardening I used jute twine. It was sufficient but degraded over a year in my high elevation. This year I bought (2) 40 ft polycord rolls at the Dollar Tree for $1.25 each. I just don't need a large roll for my smaller garden, but homesteads likely can use the bigger roll. I use it for other tasks, but bottom line, the cord is too thick to secure inside the clip niche... and I LOVE the clips. 🤗 Still, I enjoy watching other ideas.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Very cool. I appreciate the thoughts.

[@bantamdude]

I started using para cord for my portable chicken coops and it still holds up 8 years later. I was very impressed

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I love the stuff. 8 years is awesome.

[@MalaMala-os2no]

much love great info

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thank you

[@georgeanderson1862]

Hard to find quality and durability in this day and age! I like you am in a hot sunny place and have tried all sorts of things and use a lot of "string" as we are also prone to wind and I garden vertically. Thanks for the tip. I will check into it.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

It sure is. You're welcome.

[@christopherovard379]

Blessings to you and yours . Have a Wonderful day

[@CountryLivingExperience]

[@Ducky_logan]

I sorta suspect paracord was the way to go. Thanks man

[@CountryLivingExperience]

You're welcome

[@dmark6699]

Very Good tip.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Glad it was helpful

[@smadden911]

I use my hay baling twine. Free..eeyup!

[@joanies6778]

Recycling is always a winner!

[@Doc1855]

That’s what we use to. We repurpose everything we possibly can.

[@suebryant1188]

What type paracord? In looking it up on Amazon, there are many types.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

This is the one we use...amzn.to/3Qqs2mM. Most are good.

[@DoubleD-pe6tf]

Hey! just wondering if the para cord will work to make a trellis for cucumbers?or will it stretch too much with the weight of the fruit?
Thanks in advance ❤

[@CountryLivingExperience]

It does stretch a little but not that much.

[@jolj1]

Why not use a logging chain.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

lol. Go for it.

[@waynemoody3489]

I would like to talk to you about your solar system.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Sure. Anytime Wayne. You can email me of comment on one of my solar videos with a question.

[@ghostedyoutuber263]

I hate tomatoes!
