I have a number of Bamboo Plants planted in unwanted Council Recycle boxes.
After a while they are almost impossible to get out of the box, because
the roots have grown so compacted.
I intend sawing down one side of the box and folding it down so i can
just slide the plant out of the box.
To re-use the box again i need to tie a long cord around the box to keep
the cut side in its original upright position for the next plant to grow
in it.
Since good Tying Cord is expensive does anyone know of a good 'Gripping'
Knot that i can easily 'release' at a later date without having to cut
the cord?
I have tried some knots, but they are working out well.Â*Â*Â*Â* Thanks.


Isn't growing bamboo only a shade less risky than growing Japanese Knot
Weed? Surely, if the roots are safely enclosed in a plastic tab, that's
a very good thing?

Anyway, the boxes are tapered, so tie a loop round tightly with a good
solid knot, then slide the loop off the taper to open it.
