Earthtwine® Soil Degradable Twine

Earthtwine® Terra is a soil‑degradable twine designed to break down naturally at ambient temperatures through healthy soil microbes—no hot composting required. It offers growers a practical, biodegradable alternative to polypropylene and compostable twines that rely on high‑heat conditions.

 

Earthtwine® Terra was originally developed for kiwifruit orchards, where growers rely on dual tensile strength twines. The higher‑tensile option provides the durability needed for stringing in high‑wind areas and supporting heavier male vines, while the standard‑tensile version is ideal for protected zones and everyday vine tying.
