EarthTwine® Tomato / Cucumber Wire Hooks
Earthtwine® is available on high‑wire steel hooks pre‑wound with compostable indoor twine to support plants throughout the growing season. The hook hangs from an overhead support wire and enables controlled lowering of the plant as it grows. By turning the hook at regular intervals, growers can release additional twine before shifting the hooks along the overhead wire.
Each hook measures 220 mm (22 cm) and comes pre‑wound with compostable twine, with or without a free‑fall option.
Earthvine® Compostable Stem Clips
Stem clips are used to secure the twine to the plant stem, providing support as the plant grows. This practice helps prevent stems from bending or breaking under the weight of the developing plant, reducing stress and keeping them stable. Maintaining upright growth also helps maximise space and airflow within the greenhouse.
Using clips instead of twisting the stem around the twine allows nutrients to move more freely through the plant, promoting healthier growth and improved fruit development.
