Gardman Cotton String is an essential utility tool designed for gardeners and homeowners who require a reliable, natural-fiber solution for light-duty tasks. It is perfect for marking out garden rows, tying up delicate plants, and bundling household parcels, offering a gentle touch that won't damage fragile stems; however, because it is made of cotton, it is not suitable for heavy-duty structural support or long-term outdoor exposure in wet conditions as the material can eventually degrade.

Yes, being made of natural cotton, it is soft and non-toxic, making it safe for use with edible plants.
It is not recommended. Natural cotton will weather, fade, and eventually biodegrade if left exposed to constant rain and sun.
Like most natural fibers, it may have slight initial stretching under tension, so keep that in mind when marking out straight rows.
No, this string is best suited for light-duty tying and marking tasks, not for structural support.
The spool is rated at 100g, providing a generous length of versatile cotton twine for standard home and garden use.
Wrap a small piece of tape around the area before cutting or singe the very end quickly with a flame if it continues to unravel.
Use a double knot or a reef knot to ensure the natural texture of the cotton holds securely against itself.
Using the string is straightforward: pull the desired length from the center or the side of the spool and cut with garden snips or scissors. To ensure the longest life, store the spool in a cool, dry place when not in use. While the string is biodegradable, avoid leaving it buried in damp soil for extended periods if you intend to reuse it, as moisture can accelerate the breakdown of natural fibers. If the string becomes wet, allow it to air dry fully before storing it to prevent mildew.
