When your work boots or tennis shoes wear out and are ready to discard, first remove the shoe strings for use in tying up tall flowers or veggie plants.
I had forgotten that shoe laces should be saved! I wonder how many pairs of shoestrings I have thrown out over the years? I'm always looking for something to tie up a plant.
And you can use the work boots to put hens and chicks in too! I just received a pair of old work boots that my Dad used to wear and am going to put a little memorial to him in my garden. The boots fit right in.
May all your weeds be wildflowers. ~Author Unknown
hi, I also use shoestrings, but also use yarn which i cut to size and tie up everything that needs tying. In fact, the only plant that doesn't need to be tied are my wonderful Morning Glories, thanks to a galvanized fence.
