Every Gardener Needs To Check Out These Recycled DIY Plant Ties

Plant ties are a gardener’s best friend, especially if you want to keep your garden neat and tidy. They are very suitable for climbing crops with heavy fruits such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, luffa, and various pumpkin varieties.

Plant bonds can be made with a variety of things. Jute twine is an example. It is a natural material and will degrade over time. The only drawback is that it is a bit expensive and not a strong material.Also, plastic is another common material used for plant ties, which is cheap but not environmentally friendly. One of our favorite plant tie ideas is the DIY version posted by TikToker and home gardener @learntogrow1. Eco-friendly, durable, and free to create.

This is genius! As long as the fabric is 100% cotton, it will biodegrade well in the soil. It’s also free if you have old shirts, skirts, pants, or shorts that you were about to donate or throw away.

A woman makes a botanical tie from an old camouflage T-shirt. She puts it on its side and cuts off her neck from her shirt. She then folds the shirt in half and makes her first cut to cut off her hem, creating one uniform shape. She unfolds her shirt and cuts uniform strands, leaving her half an inch attached at the top. Next, the woman cuts the strip so she makes one large strand. Wrap the strands around her roll of toilet paper her insert for easy use when the plant needs a tie.
