I've wrestled with this stuff in places where it has lain in the dirt for years. If you tie a strand around a tree it will kill it eventually, because it will not rot. A survival kit should have some of it, since the shelf-life is longer than a human life...<br /><br />While I haven't used it for gardening, I have used masonry string when hanging vinyl siding. It isn't natural fiber either, but comes in smaller spools and is made to stretch without sag. It isn't designed for load-bearing, but garden-marking would be a great use for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214091972720871091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-61308701788463436582014-04-24T17:30:03.149-04:002014-04-24T17:30:03.149-04:00if you have a hand made hand operated rope maker y...if you have a hand made hand operated rope maker you can easily turn this twine into any thickness and length of rope. get several colors so all the neighborhood kids can tell their ropes apart.joe from kansasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-13248699708465835762014-04-22T08:30:30.885-04:002014-04-22T08:30:30.885-04:00I wish I had read this yesterday before I staked o...I wish I had read this yesterday before I staked out my first garden rows with regular string. By the time we got to digging the pathways down to create raised beds the string was all saggy and everyone was complaining. Guess who is going to tractor supply today!<br />Cyndi Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794693752183307243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-45931250797584420172014-04-21T20:25:27.456-04:002014-04-21T20:25:27.456-04:00On the Baler twine: They sell two types of twine,...On the Baler twine: They sell two types of twine, the natural brown color and the orange plastic type twine. <br />They will also sell it in two different sizes. It will be in a 9000 feet bundle and a 16000 foot bundle. the difference is the smaller bundles are for a square baler and the larger bundles are for the 4 x 5 foot round bales. My boys do hay all the time and I am often the runner to go get it.<br />The plastic twine doesn't seem to decompose much-we don't use that type. Our baler only likes the natural brazialan twine. So we only get that one. <br />Good idea on the baler twine. Ann from KYnoreply@blogger.com
