Product description
Huge balls of Coir Twine, ideal as a garden string. Jake uses it for training his trees, but you may choose to use it for tying in climbers, constructing elaborate runner bean wigwams, or generally lashing one thing to another.
Coir is made from the hairy husks of coconuts - ours is the colour of an orangutan’s armpits, ands comes from Sri Lanka (there are no coconuts in Japan that we know of.)
NB: pull from the inside, NOT THE OUTSIDE.
Best usage
Supporting plants, training trees, entertaining cats, and making decorations. It can be tied with a variety of knots – but the clove hitch is particularly useful for securing stakes.
Use sharp scissors to cut to the desired length. It’s a natural biodegradable material so you can add it to the compost heap when it’s worn through. Although, it can last several years (even decades) in the right conditions.
If you find it hard to work with – try submerging it in water for 24-36 hours to increase its flexibility.
