Does anyone recommend a particular manufacturer or supplier of such ties
as in
picture (not necessarily those - I just found that picture)

I have tried a number of different sorts and I finish up at the end of the
season throwing them away as they have gone brittle or even broken from
the
strength/swelling of the tomato plant stems. I'm not expecting them to
last
for years - I just want something which is reasonable quality - not too
thin,
and flexible.


I always use;

It is a brown plastic string, which comes in two thicknesses. It is
soft and strong (and very very long!).
You can cut pieces to length required and at the end of the season it
is easy to unknot and save for next year.
I've bought it at garden shows or online.
I wouldn't use anything else.
