So traditional rope is required.

Would leather straps be an option?


Or osier shoots?


Or just long strands of willow, now I think of it ? Woven into a crude

There's a thought.
We have one of these in the garden:

Bloody thing is a nightmare as it overhangs the edge of the grass and
the leafs have a magnetic attraction to the lawnmower and are incredibly

The old dead leafs are about 3' long and very fibrous but can be knotted
together so I'd think any plant like that would do the trick.
