We use tomato twine for the tomatos because you can get a good pull on it and it stays taunt where the sissell gets loose after a few rains or heavy dews and the plants tend to droop out of the rows. I use untreated sissell for the pole beans and tying other plants. Ordered the untreated through our local Coop; its more expensive than treated but worth it to me in the long run. I string alot of beans; after using the treated I'm sick for several days; haven't been sick using the untreated!!
At the end of the season I roll up vines and strings and put them in the burn pile; easy clean up.

Hi all,
I'm thinking of starting this "chicken thing" what breeds are you using for meat in a pasture situation?
On another note: those of you who use the weave system for tomatos, do you think it's ok to use baling twine or is it better to get some tomato twine?
Thanks
Have Fun
Dave
