Earthtwine® INDOOR Twine

The benefits of using crop support twine for in greenhouses and covered cropping set ups:

Increased air circulation to regulate temperature and humidity therefore supporting photosynthesis and preventing humidity related disease.
Lifting the plant away from the grow medium/soil reduce the incidence of fungal disease.
Low growing fruit is kept clean and free from grow medium/soil contamination.
Increased yield and fruit quality through supporting the plant while it is carrying a heavy crop.
Avoid accidental damage by workers by making the fruit visible and at a comfortable level to work with or around them.

The added benefits of using a compostable twine like Earthtwine®:

Eliminate the need to dispose of used twine and plant material after harvest by converting both into valuable compost instead. There is no need to separate used twine and plant material to achieve successful composting.
Avoid the enduring negative impact of conventional plastics building up and releasing microplastics into the environment.
Although twine made from natural fibres are also compostable, they often lack the strength and softness that synthetic bio-twines like Earthtwine®, offer. Natural fibres can harbour spores and other pathogens increasing the risk of disease or contamination in a hot and humid greenhouse environment.
Earthtwine® INDOOR twine is naturally UV stable and designed to withstand the temperatures and humidity in a greenhouse environment. Breakdown starts only when commercial composting conditions are met.
