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.


Old tights cut up are as good as anything

I use thin black drip irrigation tubing which you can get from LBS
horticulture.
