The Gardener's Anchor Band: Rubber Band Plant
New!The Gardener's Anchor Band UV Resistant Rubber Band Plant Ties (Bags of 50): Already a staple tool for vineyards, we are delighted to now make this invaluable tie available to gardeners. The UV Resistant Anchor Band is a black rubber band, incorporating an anchor-shaped head at one end enabling the band to stretch around the plant and its support, hooking into itself to fix in place.Its unique qualities make The Gardener's Anchor Band superior to other plant ties: • quick and easy to use – on climbing plants, fruit and vegetables and to train plants such as grape vines and fruit trees • fix in place and do not slip • can be easily removed and retied or reused • stretch with the plant as it grows, avoiding damage to the plant - the band will break if stretched too far • made using a high content of rubber, a natural, sustainable product In addition, these bands have been formulated to withstand exposure to sunlight, so they will last up to 2 years outside. Each bag will contain a minimum of 50 bands. We fill the bags by weight so actual numbers will vary since the thickness of the bands can vary. We currently have two sizes available: 50mm Bands UV-24 (Long Term) - formulated to last up to 24 months. The smaller of our two sizes, these are also thicker and have a higher UV resistance. Great in the greenhouse and polytunnel or outside for smaller stems and younger plants. 80mm Bands UV-12 (Medium Term) - formulated to last up to 12 months. These bands will happily accommodate larger stems, and can be wound twice to fix smaller plants. Great in the greenhouse, polytunnel and outside. However, you do not need to limit their use to plants - we use them all over the place... bunching flowers... tying cables... fixing fairy lights in place... closing the bag of crisps we plan to finish later...bundling pencils... building frames for climbing plants...
