garden twine

Horticultural binding cord

Garden twine is a strong, lightweight string used for tying plants to stakes, bundling harvested vegetables, and other outdoor tasks.

It's typically made from natural fibers like jute or hemp that will eventually decompose: I used garden twine to train the tomatoes up their cages.

The term distinguishes it from household string or heavier rope.
