Overall, it seems that zip ties work out at 47.5 cents 'per metre', whilst even the smallest (least economical) roll of 1.6mm trimmer line works out at 41.5 cents per metre (after loosing the aforementioned 1/5 useless short lengths).
Can't make any comments on the longevity of the cable ties, but if 1.6 is anything to go by, great in the field, but useless against concrete. [/quote]
I think it's plain to see that in a bump feed situation, trimmer line wins out (especially when you paid only $5.00 for a 50m of 2.7mm trimmer line at a sale price in Bunnings!), but one situation where they are useful as an alternative to the line is when you have just about finished doing the yard when you run out and don't have time/ feel like rewinding the spool, so you just fit a pair of cable ties to complete the task with!!
P.S Hey Tyler, I'm currently having problems getting the quote function to work haha. Something CyberJack can also have a look at.
