This year I planted my tomatoes in holes filled with mulch and as a result I'm getting bigger plants than I am used to. The problem is keeping them tied up. 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 They other day I needed to tie a friend's tomato plant to a stake (I'm plant and fish-sitting while they are vacationing). I didn't have wire handy and was in a rush, so I broke a wild onion/chive plant that was growing from a crack in the patio. Threw off the flower head and used it like cord. Worked great for now. I think I'm just going to give them a cage to make it easy.
