Tying a tree with a sting like this does not let the trunk expand during growth. The portion under the grease band ends up significantly thinner than the rest of the trunk above. This creates a weak spot at the base of a tree. I did something similar and lost three fruiting trees to strong winds. They all snapped right where the banded portion was. So be careful with this technique.

Yes indeed, the less chemicals the better, good man!
