When you cross the two starting cloves wrap one a full revolution around the stem of the other head (towards the bulb)then lay your center head. This removes the need for the string :-) Thanks again.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602439192804265971.post-33900934972403147702010-12-28T20:30:06.720+13:002010-12-28T20:30:06.720+13:00Thanks Gillybean.
