For those color-conscious gardeners who can’t bear to have visible tomato ties (or panty lines):
Only $2.99 for eight pieces? Whatta deal!
Do you know how many tomato ties you can get from a pair of hose? Especially if you are a “long”? About fifty. Of course they’ll be nude or black, unless you bought into that purple trend last season.
Yeesh.
ps: I do like Lusterleaf’s (company responsible for the above) can o’ twine with the handy cutter-top, though. $4 and it has lasted through several seasons.
Old hose also make great staking material for trees – soft and flexible. I must say this marketing reminds me of a Japanese maple grower some years ago who came from a bench science background. She bought huge rolls of Parafilm, cut it into strips, repackaged and sold them as “grafting tape” at an obscene price.
Ha! Another of the never-ending list of uses of Parafilm. Not that I ever stole any…
