I've had a 1.5 inch nail that had soft lead attached to it. Theory
was to drive in the nail then fold the lead over the vine. Trouble is I
can't remember what it is called. Any idea?

PS Truth be known I use it for adding weight to my toilet flapper but
it was designed for holding up vines. Just got in from looking about in
my garage and found all sorts of things I forgot I had but came up empty
on the vine lead spike.

Sorry to bother you.

Bill, out of curiosity, tell me why you can't use string or strips of
cloth to secure the vine.

These were designed to attach to brick walls or dead hard wood. I saw
the use also a way to add lead weight to almost anything in an
environment under water. My toilets. Seems they are good for about ten
years here under water.
The he original use is viable too but I in my plant world I use twine
and these things.

I like Velcro ties but it seem the best were replaced with lesser
quality and now if I go here

I find nothing of use.

At least my old stuff is viable for awhile.
