Tying Up
What material can I use for tying plants (climbers) up that will rot away after a few years and not strangle the plant like plastic ties wood ?

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Typically how long does it last for ?
I seem to think we have some of it that has been outdoors in the garden for years and still seems in good condition.
I was more hoping for something a little wider (strap like) that would have failed in a year (and then naturally degrade)

i have used them in the past in the garden, but since the realisation of the 'plastic' problem I am trying to avoid such things.
