Aluminium tent pegs

[Virandell]

Hi anybody been using aluminium alloy tent pegs for lst ? I read somewhere they can be toxic for plants but as soon pH is not below 5 I think should be fine

They should be fine at a pH good for plants.

Probably destroy some plant roots shoving them in.

What's wrong with a big pack of cheap binder clips? Way less issues, way more bang for the buck.

More hassle but you are right

Hassle? You mean clipping it onto the side of the pot? Other than that, you're hooking up to that just like one of those pegs.

I think I got like 10dz binder clips for like $6 or $8 from mr bezos. Needless to say, with up to 12 plants being trained at once, I haven't needed more.

Now that stupid soft plant wire, it always seems I need 20% more length than the piece I'm trying to use.

Tying?

Soft wire is your friend.

Soft wire or pipe cleaners and binder clips.

Every time you adjust tent stakes you destroy roots, roots = canopy = buds.

Fabric pots just pop a hole in the fabric and use pipe cleaners to tie them down.

Plastic pots use binder clips and pipe cleaners or soft wire.

Or just skip all that and stab your roots with ice picks...
