EpiWeb? (Sustainable mounting)

[Peithecelt]

cb977 recommended a tree fern totem for my v. planifolia, but (as I mentioned in my intro post, I'm sort of a hippy) some research has made me realize that tree fern is simply not a sustainable product (or at least as it is currently being harvested it is not).. And as such I'm comfortable with using it. (Edited to add, obviously this should read "uncomfortable" or "not comfortable" -sorry about that.. lol )

I thought some about just going and finding a small tree in the back yard and taking that, stripping that and working some local willows around it as a support structure for the vine.. (honestly the currently leading idea).

But I also started doing a little more digging, and came across a product called EpiWeb. It is recycled soda bottles worked into a similar structure to Tree Fern.. Obviously the manufacturing of it is probably problematic, but at the very least it's a reuse of items that we keep getting more of, rather than continued culling of a limited resource.

Has anyone used it? Is it any good? Are there known problems? I can't find much in the way of reviews of it (other than from those selling it, not their customers).

Thanks everyone!
