LST everything and use garden tie bought by the roll. Works great. I drill holes in rims of containers to tie to.

Yup, this is just something free from the produce isle at the grocery. Figured I'd share, though like I said previously I'm certain its been done before.

I use cheap paper string. It's easy to tie and untie.

Repurposing is something I now realize is something I’ve always done. I have a neighbor's old campaign sign that I covered in Mylar to reflect light when using less tent space and windshield sun shields for refreshing the walls.

plant velcro i love it. It can even cling to the sides of smart pots, and you can re-use them alot and if they're cut too short you can link them together easy. Its pretty cheap too! 2.52$ for 45 ft

Those windshield sun shields are very useful around here

I wrap my outdoor Cucumber DWC totes in them. Walmart generic full size truck is less than 3 bucks.

yes i saw it once when at a local home and garden center, ever since then I've been using it, and re-using it.
It goes pretty fast, depending how big the plants are but at least it is reusable!

You can also hook paper clips through the bags if you're having a problem with it sticking to the pots. when you loop it around a branch just double it back onto itself and wa-laa
