Ok, to do this, we need some sort of restraints, and something to tie the restraints to.
I use thin wire, and a Publix crate, or milk crate (steal your own).
Now, as other options, Ive used kite like string, and also shoe laces for the restraints. I know Delta uses the 5 gallon buckets which he drills holes around the top of for what you tie the restraints to. This is cool because you can use the bucket to plant in, AND to tie to. Where as, I take a pot, and put it inside the crate. On the other hand, take a good look at that crate and see how many places all around the crate i can tie potential restraints to. No need to drill anything.
Pictured here as I said is thin wire. This is good and bad. On the plus side, its very manageable; I can easily shape it however I wish. On the bad side, if not watched, and used as a tight restraint, can cut into the stem. The thin kite like string has the same effect
Shoelaces seem to work best for me, but I simply don’t have a whole lot of laces laying around, nor the time to spare to tie and untie; as it takes quite a bit of patience.
Weigh out your options, use your best judgment. |
