Plant ties from discarded undies.

[Dinu]

Sometimes some plants needs to be supported by strings or tapes. For this I have discovered a nice soft way of using discarded underwear [pictured here are of wife's]. The knit material is soft and will have a suitable elasticity. Cut up the 'good parts' of the garment in 1" strips [horizontally] and use them for tying. The softness will not hurt the tender plants. Pictured below is how I have used it to my tomato plant. This can be a good, colourful way of recycling unwanted material.

Why not, recycling rather than buying anything new? Resourceful and responsible - good for your brain and for the environment.

Back when I wore pantyhose, I'd use old ones for plant ties. So undies, why not indeed?

Kind of makes me want to start wearing underwear

Not sure what to say, not even sure on what emoji to go with. I think I'm a little more traditional, but appreciate the creativity.

Might not help me keep my mind on my matters while gardening, probably cause my mind to wander .
