The Original Fantastic Elastic Tomato String (100yd. Spool)

The Original Fantastic Elastic Tomato String is a 100-yard spool of stretchy 1/8-inch tie-up material made from polyester and natural latex rubber, built to last an entire growing season. Developed by MIgardener over two years, it stretches as plants grow, will not cut into stems with movement, and resists solarizing, making it a strong yet gentle support for heavy tomato plants.
