This is true, but for the price of those clips and the inevitability that my plants will outgrow them vs the cheap garden wire price and the ability to tie them down how I want I'll pass.Sometimes it's a pain to water around tie-downs if you don't lollipop and have a lot of foliage, that's really the only place that I can see these would excel, but I'm trying not to waste money on unnecessary shit these days.
