Garden ties are a type of cable tie. One end of the tie has serrated edges, while the other end has two slots where the saw-like end is slotted in and adjusted to grip. The serrations ensure that these products are able to grip a wide range of sizes. One of the two slots is for the narrow end of the product, while the other slot (inside slot) is for the wider teeth.

The garden tie is a simple product without any complex parts. This simplicity makes them easy to use and also makes them cheap and affordable. They are used to support weak plants that are not able to support themselves. This is done by utilizing the tie to secure plants to stakes. It will, therefore, help you to neatly arrange your nursery, and stop plants from crowding up and blocking the gang ways. The support ensures other plants like tomatoes do not fall to the ground. Supported plants yield better. When you want to release the grip on the plant or the plant needs to be re-staked, all you need to do is slightly pull the serrated end of the product and then twist when it loosens. This allows the serrated end to slide out of the slot.

This will greatly improve the beauty of your garden or nursery. The best part is that when you are making an order, you are able to specify the color you want and number.
