Which twine should I use to tie tomatoes in a greenhouse?
“For tomato trellising we recommend horticultural polypropylene (PP) twine of 1.0-2.0 mm diameter, strong enough to guide the stem without damaging the plant. Polypropylene withstands greenhouse humidity and crop protection treatments. For organic growing, biodegradable jute twine is the preferred alternative because it breaks down naturally at the end of the growing season.”

“Synthetic raffia (polypropylene, PP) is stronger, lighter, waterproof and more durable, ideal for balers and for prolonged outdoor storage when UV-treated. Natural raffia (sisal) is biodegradable and does not contaminate forage — the preferred choice on livestock farms, where twine can end up mixed into the animal feed. Jute is biodegradable and economical for temporary ties.”
