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.


String works

But it can damage the plant if it is too tight, while the plastic
stuff stretches.
