Sisel twine or ?
I am putting up my rack for my single stem bed and will start planting them out in the next two days if possible. I am going to use clips to tie my tomatoes to the drop lines but I'm not sure what to use for the drop lines. I have a roll of sisel twine but I am not sure if a single strand will support a large vine with fruit on it though it sure seems strong enough and works great with the clips. I haven't been able to find any polypropylene or whatever but I'm sure I can if I really search all the local farm suppliers. I need to get it before I plant so ordering off the internet is not an option. Most of the plants going in that bed are already too tall and will need support immediately so I plan to have the drop lines secure before planting so I can just clip the new plant to it as soon as it is planted. Has anyone had any experience with using sisel baling twine for support like this?
