Earthtwine® INDOOR Twine
The benefits of using crop support twine for in greenhouses and covered cropping set ups:
- Improved air circulation helps regulate temperature and humidity, supporting photosynthesis and reducing the risk of humidity‑related diseases.
- Lifting plants away from the growing medium lowers the chance of soil‑borne fungal infections.
- Keeps low‑growing fruit clean, preventing contamination from soil or growing substrates.
- Supports heavy crops, improving overall yield and fruit quality.
- Reduces accidental damage by keeping fruit visible and at a comfortable height for workers to access and work around.
Added Benefits of Using a Compostable Twine Like Earthtwine®
- No separation required after harvest: Twine and plant material can be composted together, saving time and eliminating waste disposal challenges.
- Reduces long‑term plastic impact: Unlike conventional plastic twines, Earthtwine® avoids microplastic pollution and environmental buildup.
- Superior to natural fibre twines: While natural fibres are compostable, they can lack the strength and softness of Earthtwine® and may harbour spores or pathogens—especially risky in warm, humid greenhouse environments.
- Engineered for greenhouse conditions: Naturally UV‑stable and built to withstand indoor temperatures and humidity. Breakdown begins only under commercial composting conditions, ensuring durability throughout the crop cycle.
