Tying up tomatoes

Hi all,

This was my first year with a greenhouse.  To tie up the tomatoes I fixed wire across the top of GH and tied twine to hang down and be 'planted' in the pot under the tomatoes’ roots.  The tomatoes were then twisted round the twines as they grew.  This started to work well but most of the twines have snapped at some point!  Most have snapped at the bottom where they get damp which is not much of a problem as I can just tie them round the stem but three or four have snapped at the top.

Do other people use this method and if so any suggestions?  Twine obviously is not strong enough on it's own I could double it up, use nylon string or maybe wire?

What other methods do people use to tie up green house (cordon) tomatoes?

Thanks,
Chris

Same as mum - it's very strong, cheap,  and quite easy to use because it has a sort of "waxy" finish which stops you needing 3 hands to tie knots in it!

I always create a noughts and crosses effect with bamboo canes and tie the toms/cukes/aubs to that.
Found some fancy coloured natural twine in Tavistock Market in Devon so I have pretty red tied toms!

I've got some marmande toms ,I used the polyproperlene string. but it was cutting into the stems.

 The fruit is so heavy that I've had to use thicker nylon. rope to support them .

I use the natural brown hemp type twine but tie it to the handles of the buckets that I grow the toms in, this keeps the twine away from the damp.

I use polypropylene twine but I twist the plants around it every 6 inches or so. That way they don't seem to cut into the stems as the weight is distributed along the stem.
