Smart Garden Garden Line 50m - Jute Twine with Dispenser for Seed Drills & Plant Tying

Smart Garden Garden Line – 50m Jute Twine with Dispenser

Fifty metres of jute twine in a dispenser that pays out what you need and holds the rest. It is the standard tool for marking a straight seed drill, and it doubles as the twine you reach for when something needs tying in.

Jute is soft, takes a knot well and rots down on the compost heap, which is why it is still preferred to nylon for anything touching a plant. The dispenser matters more than it sounds: loose twine in a shed becomes a bird’s nest within a fortnight.

Performance & Benefits

• 50 metres of jute twine, supplied on a dispenser.
• Pays out and retrieves cleanly, so the line does not tangle.
• Soft texture, easy to knot by hand.
• Natural fibre — it breaks down rather than persisting in the soil.
• Long enough to mark out a full vegetable bed and still leave plenty.

Suitable For

• Marking out straight seed drills and planting rows.
• Tying in beans, tomatoes and herbaceous plants.
• Bundling prunings, canes and kindling.
• Allotments and vegetable gardens where straight rows matter.
• Jute rots, which is the point of it. For a tie that must last outdoors for years, use the Smart Garden Cable Ties 29cm Re-Usable 50 Pack instead.

How to Use

• Pull out the length you need and cut it; the dispenser holds the rest.
• To mark a drill, tie each end to a cane, push the canes in at either end of the row and pull the line taut.
• Draw the drill along the line with the corner of a hoe, then lift the line and sow.
• When tying plants, use a figure of eight so the twine bears on the support rather than the stem.
• Keep the dispenser dry between jobs — jute weakens if it is stored damp.

Specification

• 50 metres of jute twine, supplied in a dispenser.
