Strong, All-Purpose Natural Jute Garden Twine in Handsome Colors 

This classic, sustainably sourced, 3-ply garden twine is made of natural jute fiber and is truly indispensable for a wide variety of garden tasks. Start the season by marking out lines for sowing and use it for training and attaching vining plants like tender cucumbers and fragile snap pea vines to trellises. Later, use it to support climbers like flowering sweet peas and mini pumpkins, and to keep plants heavy with fruit or flowers from toppling over. It’s also useful in the kitchen or the shop and an attractive way to tie up bunches of flowers or herbs to dry. It’s pretty enough to use for wrapping presents or even to give as a gift.  

The vintage style tin keeps your twine dry and tangle free and lets the twine spool out easily. The Nutscene brand of jute twine has been sourced, manufactured and wound in Great Britain since 1922! This workhorse product will serve you all season long.

Each 3 x 6” tin, each contain 325 feet of 3-ply jute twine. 

Available in 3 color options: natural, lilac or green.  

Extends Cut Flower Life

We think you’ll agree that one of gardening’s great pleasures is having abundant fresh flowers for long-lasting indoor bouquets.

Your cut flowers are still alive and breathing and need the right care for longest vase life. In the trial garden, we keep our bottle of FloraLife Liquid Flower Food next to the sink and add it to vase water every time we bring flowers indoors, so we recommend it heartily!

Originally formulated for the florist industry, FloraLife Flower Food core ingredients contain an optimum blend of sugar, light acids and balancers. When added to vase water, it provides nutrition to your flowers, keeps vase water clean by inhibiting bacteria, and sustains hydration to really keep flowers looking fresh longer.

Add 2 teaspoons per 1 quart (4 cups) of water. Each 8 oz. bottle makes 100 cups or 25 quarts of vase solution.

Besides making short work of our big tomato harvests, we use it for easy paper-thin slices of onions, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, radishes and pickles and all kinds of fruits like apples, pears, mangoes, peaches oranges and lemons and for perfect thin hard-boiled egg slices.
