baling wire
Hay bundle binding
Baling wire is thin, flexible wire used to bind bales of hay or straw.
Because farmers historically kept it on hand and used it to fix everything from broken gates to machinery, it became synonymous with improvised repair: The old truck was held together with baling wire and duct tape.
Something fixed with baling wire suggests a makeshift, temporary solution.
