Save the velcro wrap that comes on loose leaf lettuce, Swiss chard,and bok choy and other supermarket vegetables. Use them for tying up your vines or tomato plants. They won't harm the plant and they can be cut smaller and you should be able to get 3-4 ties out of one, best of all they're free!
When our dog had foot surgery, we even used them to secure a plastic bag on his foot when he went outside.

Tip: Save Produce Bands For Gardening
Archived on 05/20/2009
Do you buy lettuce, broccoli and other vegetables in the supermarket? If so, you probably have noticed that some distributors wrap their vegetables with a green Velcro-like band. Well, save those bands! They make perfect ties for staking tall annuals, perennials and vegetable plants in your garden this summer. The best part is that you can adjust the size of the tie very easily as the plant grows, so you never have to worry that it's too tight. And as a bonus, they're green, so they blend right in to nature's color scheme.
