Lesson learned #432. The garden ties I have been using are harming my vines. I was using a twist tie that appeared to be soft enough and tying the vines loosely but they grow so fast this time of year this is not working.

Can anyone share their preferred material for tying vines that will allow the vines to expand without cutting off the flow?
 
I use a tapener gun for my vines. Works great and is really quick.

If you google that you should find plenty of sources.
 
Green Vinyl Tie Tape for me.

I use zip ties from the auto parts store. You do need to use them with care to make sure you don't constrict the fine. But they are cheap and locally available.
 
I use cable ties, but they do the same thing eventually. I set them loose to allow for the vine to grow, but eventually when the tendrils grab the wires I go back and cut the cable ties.
