I need so much material to tie them that I have started using twine rather than the traditonal cloth strips torn from old sheets. Is twine the standard for those who don't use cages? Thanks I have always used twine, not sisal, for tying up my tomatoes. Never had a problem. I use twine as well, I tie a loop around the plant and leave it very loose, secured with a square knot and then tie the other end of the twine to the stake. I have the cages but they are a p.i.t.a. as fas as I'm concerned. Just try to get at the fruit at the bottom of the plants. Just another gimmick to get $ outta your pocket. Geeze, how did folks in the old days every grow 'em without all of this fancy stuff? ;-) -- Steve Ever notice that putting the and IRS together makes "theirs"? |
