Jute is softer, more flexible, and breaks down naturally over time — making it much gentler for your plants 🧡Give it a shot and let me know what you think!What’s your favorite plant-tying trick? 🌱👇 Drop it in the comments below!#planttips #gardening101 #eggplantlove #gardeningideas #veggiegarden #stakeandsupport #homegrownveggies #organicgardening #growyourownfood #anyonecangrow | Uncle Josh Gardens | Facebook
