Finally - A better way to tie up tomato plants!

[Don2222]

Hello
It was time to tie up the tomato 🍅 plants and I always dread doing it!! This year a quick trip to Home Depot and bingo! Plant hold up clips! I never saw these before! What a pleasant surprise if they work! Took home a pack of 10 and the 100 feet of plant tie up with cutter! WOW easy peasy!
I already bolted in pressure treated 2x4s and used a piece of electrical conduit as a tie bar so just wrap the wire around it and pull the plant up before I twist it tight! Then as the plant grows I can untwist the wire and or change the clip to readjust it!!
We used approximately 2 clips per plant. Your results may vary.

That’s cool! It looks big enough to allow the plant to grow bigger too!

I hung my strings and used these. It’s super fast to add more as they grow or you need to support a big cluster of tomatoes.

I picked up some plant tape, its works like hook and loop tape but less abrasive on the plants. I also switched to the square tomato cages, the seem to be more stable than the cones.
