As a way to manage, label, secure and shape growing things I've saved for years the green velcro strips that my local super markets use to bunch for sale [vegetables like greens or beets or herbs] and re-use the strips in my indoor and out door gardens. I save the canvas bags the rices I purchase is finally packed for sale in local markets here for easy storage and transport of hand held garden tools. basilbe [another winter weary gardener from N.E.]
