Review on VELCRO Brand VEL 30089 AMS Garden Support by Justin Abreu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Price increase by 40%!?

Update number 2: I paid $3.57 for this band several times in 2018 and now it's $5.98!? I gave this item 5 stars, but that's a huge jump in price in just a few months! Update: I think I've bought 4 rolls of this tape now because I keep finding more uses for it. . I've tied coiled nylon rope with it, electrical cords neat and compact, a large vine that's attached to the banister more than usual, etc. Great stuff! I used this Velcro on a selection of plants this spring. I trimmed a large screen out of Pittosporum, English laurel and a few other things and when I trimmed there were gaps. By using this tape on the stems, which have some flexibility, I was able to arrange them to fill in most of those visual gaps. Excellent! I'm sure there's a limit to how much resistance/weight it can take, but I've found that folding the band at its extreme point (instead of the straight part in the middle where the tension is different) is quite can hold a lot. I love this thing so much I've now bought 3 more rolls so of course I recommend it!
