Strips of pantyhose make great garden ties for plants that need to be secured to a stake or cage. One way is to cut strips (each about 1 inch wide) across a pantyhose leg. You should then have a circle of material—you can then stretch each loop a bit and then cut it, so that you have one long strip. Use a strip to tie a branch of a tomato, for example, to a stake to give it support. Make sure that your loop of hose around stem and stake allows wiggle room (say, the width of two fingers) to avoid injury to the plant stem and so that air circulates around the stem.
