I use polypropylene baling twine. It has over 100 pounds of tensil strength and doesn't sag and is UV resistant. The first year I had my dad save all of it from when he used big round bales to feed cattle, bedding for hogs and etc. I found it way to time consuming to unravel everything and tie it all back together. It did work and I was happy I was recycling but it just was time consuming. If you have nothing to do all winter long, ask a farmer for some. I am sure they would love to get rid of it! Each "ball" is 20,000 feet. I finally used one ball in 1.5 years. To tie up tomatoes in a Florida Weave, I either put the ball in a bucket or carry it in a backpack. The second method is a good way to keep both hands free.
