Hev, you have opened up a whole new subject to whine about!
pantyhose!
Those old pantyhose work great in the garden for tying plants. Back in the jungle-section of my yard I have these huge bamboo-ish stalks growing all crowded tightly together. Of course...they grow like weeds and the whole shabang topples over.
The only thing that will hold them up & together is pantyhose!
Come to think of it..that's why they were invented: to hold stuff up & together.
I had to use a whole pair (intact!) to tie up those dang bushes....but they do have lovely flowers that the humminbirds love.
