How to secure your plants with Soft-Tie ~ Plus WIN a free pack!

Haxnicks' Soft-Tie is a special reusable rubber compound coated wire that has a never ending list of uses in the home and garden.

Here we are going to show you how you can use it to train your Tomatoes, Sunflowers, Sweet Peas, Runner Beans, Grapevines or any other plant that might need to be secured as it shoots up.

Cut off lengths of Soft-Tie with a pair of wire cutters, or a pair of pliers that are designed to cut wire as above.
 
You may then tie your  plants on to your supports (in this case a bamboo cane).  Be careful that you don't tie them too tightly.


Perhaps you might want to create more of a gap between support and plant.  Why not try this fancy technique?


If you are trying to train a climbing plant along a piece of fence or trellis, simply tie the plant stem along at regular intervals.  Use the above picture as a rough guide if you like.

Haxnicks Soft-Tie - durable, flexible, reusable. Choose from Original, Woody, Slim and Slim Woody.
