I used to save the newspaper rubberbands and never knew when or if they would break on me or be streched out of usefulness. Then I discovered Staples Economy Rubberbands and fell in love! They are good strong bands that don't break or strech out. I use them for anything that needs to be held together.
These rubber band are perfect for securing my daffodils after the bloom has died and I want to give the leaves a chance to die properly in order to help the bulb become stronger for next year's bloom. The variety of sizes can match the size of my plants.
