Twine for Gardeners

By gardengus
January 19, 2012

Twine is a good thing to keep handy in the garden or on the potting bench. A terracotta pot turned upside down will hold the twine and a pair of scissors or knife.

Cinda, I just love this tip. I am fore ever misplacing my twine. Maybe if I put it in a pot I would be able to easily find it. Thumbs up

Oh, I do like this idea! And you could have fun painting the pot, too!

Great idea, I'm always losing things and keeping twine in a pot would sure help me. Good place for the scissors too. Hurray!

I can't believe I missed this one. *Great* idea, as I have dogs/ cats that see the ball and carry it away....
In the end, only kindness matters.

Science is not the answer, it is the question.

Gymgirl found a great source for really strong waxed twine.

http://garden.org/thread/view_...

It's 9-ply, and you can unravel it to get really strong waxed thread. The wax is very "grippy", and sometimes I'll tie a little onto something to make a super-firm grip.
Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!
