Just bought a FunteckTying Tool. Your excellent presentation sold me. Thanks for the demo and all your excellent videos. Located in the middle of Bucks County outside if Philadelphia 7a

[@BIGALTX]

Glad it was helpful, Murray. Thanks for watching, and for your kind words 😎

[@DDWASH9595]

I like how your videos are straight to the point

[@BIGALTX]

Thanks, Darrin. Some say I "ramble" from time to time... hahaha

[@hazel555]

Simple, quick...and made in China. I'll stick with cotton string, thanks.

[@raymccarty4612]

lol

[@junehess501]

Where was the cotton string made? Just curious.

@@junehess501 Maine thread co...yes, I know, it's hard to find much of anything "Made in the USA" now-a-days.

[@adamwalter2573]

look for plastic strings, they are even better and the best colour would be pink, not green everyone buys for their garden

[@steffaniewalz8444]

I bought this as soon as I saw this. I've been using it for a week now... I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much! Also, you should go take a look at Lazy Dog Farms, if you haven't already saw it. Might be a shock, it was to me.

[@BIGALTX]

Glad you like it! Yep... I've been a "Lazy Dogger" since Travis started the channel We go way back. He handled my Associate account at Hoss.

[@kellyscorner01]

Hello there, your channel came across my recommend screen. My husband has this and LOVES it. He made a video on it as well. By the way, we are neighbors. We live in Southwest Louisiana 👋

[@BIGALTX]

That little doodad is a real timesaver. And yep, we’re neighbors 😎

[@trishbishop3923]

Thank you for sharing this tool! I’ve not seen this before.

[@BIGALTX]

You bet. Get one… I think you will like it!

[@1LostDude]

Ordered one! Gotta wait until next year to use it though, plants are just about full size now and already supported.

[@BIGALTX]

There is always something in the garden to tie 😎

[@rvlucky2909]

That beats the old way of doing it you take care and have a great one

[@BIGALTX]

Yes it does! 😎

[@eanderson1801]

Bought one last year when you showed it. I use it daily. So much easier and faster than twine

[@BIGALTX]

Great to hear! I've used mine 2 times in the last 3 days 😎

[@771blahblah]

thanks! never knew this existed… am getting one!

[@BIGALTX]

Glad I could help!

[@susiessoapstuff1459]

I must have missed the episode from last year, but I was just out in the garden trying to get the cucumbers wound through the cattle panel.

[@BIGALTX]

This really helps. Works great on cattle panels, as well as this hartinova trellis.

[@keystonecop2005]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Not everyone is thrilled with some of the manufacturers. Buyer beware, check the reviews. Buyers have a less than spectacular opinion on many of these tools. That scares the heck out of me.

[@BIGALTX]

That's probably true. The "Funteck" is the only one I have any experience with. Thanks for sharing

[@gardengirl66]

It’s only30 dollars…

[@majtnkr]

Got one earlier this spring - lovin' it!

[@WarGardensForVictory]

Great video I was just looking at one of these and wasn’t sure if I should get one or not.

[@BIGALTX]

I really like mine. I think you will too 👍🏼

[@Wild_Cannon]

I just watched your nesting box video and loved it. I just built a chicken coop for my small yard, but I can't afford a nesting box system like yours, but maybe i'll figure out a way to build one into my coop.

[@BIGALTX]

These ARE a little pricey. There are several places to find plans online to build your own if you are handy.

[@karenmcallister7411]

How do you clear a jam ....with the stapler

[@BIGALTX]

It usually works it's way out. Not too many jams, but it does happen. Always go through the process... one click to grab tape and another click to staple. When it seems jammed, just click it as if you are stapling... that usually works for me

[@rogerdue85]

We got ours. Haven’t used it yet.

[@BIGALTX]

Shoot man… get out there and tie something! 😎

[@rogerdue85]

@@BIGALTX woohoo best tool I ever got a hold of! Thanks for the info. Tied them tomatoes up lickity split. Oh and by the way, we used the pelletized gypsum, no sign of blossom end rot.

[@BIGALTX]

You'll love that tool. I'm seeing some BER... not a lot of it, but more than I expected using the Gypsum

[@lelandshanks4759]

We have 2 of these, my only concern is will tape last through summer???

[@BIGALTX]

The tape lasted all summer long on most everything a tied last year. Even into the winter months. When I tore down my tomato cages I had to break some of the tape loose because it was still holding pretty firmly :-)

[@kylahh4903]

What are the white spots in the leaves on the cucumbers?

[@BIGALTX]

Probably a fungus from all the rain we have had. It has been raining just about every day for the last two or three weeks. Sunny today :-)

[@sunflower3463]

What is the tool called ?

[@BIGALTX]

Tape Tying Tool The link is below the video. Click the “Show More” tab.

[@jeffnelson2924]

How long does a spool of tape last should we order extra tape with it

[@icecinder4097]

It can never hurt

[@BIGALTX]

It comes with several rolls of tape. I think I used one roll last year on everything I did. So the type that comes with it should last several years unless you just go crazy with it :-)

[@williamwelch7]

Thanks TP2, but no link for the tool

[@BIGALTX]

I included two links for this tool. Look below the video in the description. One is for this specific tool. The other link is for other tools just like this in case this one is sold out.

[@junehess501]

I got mine. It’s going to really come in handy to control my crazy ‘maters :-) BTW, what’s the best fertilizer to use on my wicking tub blackberries? They got knocked back a bit by freezemageddon bu they’re finally reaching for the sun!

[@BIGALTX]

If you use granular you can use any complete fertilizer like 10 -10-10 or 13-13-13. Or, you can use a water soluble fertilizer like Hoss tools 20-20-20. Try to stay away from the plants if you use the granular. Too much fertilizer can burn them. I used some of the triple 13 fertilizer about this time last year and they went crazy. Two or 3 tablespoons per plant, placed several inches away from the roots.

[@junehess501]

@@BIGALTX thank you! I’ll be putting up a support system like you use if the ground has dried enough to hold posts :-)

[@junehess501]

Oh, I received the plant tie thingie yesterday- now let’s see if I can figure out how to use it! I’ll be reviewing your video for sure.

[@BIGALTX]

@@junehess501 When you start to tie them... just go slow. A 1/2 click should pick up the tape. And a full click will staple and cut the tape when it's tied. I don't remember if the tape comes threaded through the tool or not. If it is, make sure you look at it and see how it runs through the machine so you will know how to replace the tape when it runs out.

[@junehess501]

@@BIGALTX it’s threaded and yes I will see how to refill it before it runs out- otherwise I’m coming to have you fix it for me! Kidding. Maybe. Lol

[@julianokleby1448]

I was just thinking about buying one of those, but there were 13% 1-star reviews on it, and only 61% of the reviews were 5-stars. That doesn't sound like very good odds to me for $35.00. I noticed your video is also 3 years old. Has this company gotten bad over the years or changed ownership maybe? I know you can't trust everything you read review-wise, but when that many are terrible, some of whom purchased a second one that was just as bad, it doesn't sound like a very good company. What are your thoughts? Can you maybe do another video addressing some of the 1 star concerns?

[@BIGALTX]

I don’t know why anyone would rate this low. It has been so helpful to me. Yes, sometimes it, jams, etc.… But no big deal.

[@countrydarlin8212]

Have never seen tomato plants that tall in my life! Geez louise! Lol, what y'all got in the dirt over there in Texas??? Or is it in the water???

[@BIGALTX]

Actually, these are in containers. The containers are about 20 inches tall, so that adds a little bit to the height of the plant. 😎👍🏼

[@countrydarlin8212]

@@joligarcon5970 that is amazing! Any other tips? I'm trying to grow some for the first time from seed. Never been much on gardening before.

[@BIGALTX]

Sounds like you have some great soil. Years ago, I had some that were 12 to 14 feet tall. I believe they were "Champion" tomatoes.

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

Mine here in north central Texas are easily that tall😁👍

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

5 ft though not 8 or 10 ft, lol

[@cdybft9050]

Got it. No tape. No staples. Can’t buy any in either store. Gotta order.

[@BIGALTX]

It includes SO MANY staples and rolls of tape that I'm not even close to running out. And I've had mine for several years.

[@michaelmartinez3189]

Just curious and not trying to be condescending of this video or how we tend our gardens. This seems to be an amazing tool that serves its purpose, but knowing after thousands of years of plants growing on the ground producing what it produces and surviving thousands of years unattended why string up on trellis to help it produce and stay healthy

[@raymccarty4612]

Where space limitations are a primary concern, this tool is amazing. You can then proceed to maintain the ground easier without stepping on the fruits like those people did for thousands of years.

[@BIGALTX]

Exactly. Space considerations, and keeping the fruit off the ground helps with preventing disease. I have a lot of things that are sprawling right now on the ground. Pumpkins, watermelon and things like that, but the smaller fruits do so well growing up a trellis or fence.

[@johnchase4408]

And guess what tool.. They'll make more.

[@BIGALTX]

Probably. But by the time they are stocked again the garden may be too far gone 👀

[@ClickinChicken]

just buy jewt twine for vegetable plants, save $. gimmick. send me one! lol :P

[@BIGALTX]

But, a nice gimmick 😎
