For the long ties, it needed 6
For the 2nd box, 12 of the short ones (the one that connected the loop was only used about 2".
Both have plants in now and so far so good. If this works out, at the end of the season, I will cut one to unloop it and save the rest and just connect a new one next season.
I also use cages in my EB, and use 1 tie to connect the two together at the top. Also attached bamboo poles with zip ties to extend the cages. Last year, we had a 10 month season and there was no degradation in the ties. I clipped them to store everything over the summer. My neighbors are still intact from Sept '16, no wear and tear at all.
I have 3 EB left and also one huge white perlite bag to use; so I will do 2 more with that bag.
By the time you all need to do your EB, I will have good feedback using this method
