Comments about Foam Twist Tie:

Ended up pre-cutting roll which makes it much more difficult to store than when in one piece. Found you needed an extra hand to use effectively from the bulk design. However it is much easier to find on plant stakes and then adjust during the growing season. Also appears, even in Phoenix, AZ, as though it can be re-used during our long growing season. Plants showed no damage when used and then reused. Perhaps could consider a red one for use especially with tomato plants.

I use this to tie up everything. Not only can it be cut to different lengths but it can be tied to itself to almost form a trellis. I save every scrap of it from year to year.

Comments about Foam Twist Tie:

Great Idea, that being said I could not find anything in my house to cut these with. It does tell you in the description that this has to be specially cut, but I ended up tossing the whole roll since I didn't have anything but knives and scissors. I think it would work fantastically if I had tin snips or something similar.
