I’m always having trouble supporting plants with canes in the garden, I usually use garden twine to tie plants to canes or sometimes the metal tie clips, I don’t like either of these options, because you have to be careful, especially when the tomatoe plant stems grow, that they don’t bruise the stems. Whilst I was in Poundstretchers or Poundland the other week (well times are hard!), I found these very handy plant clip supports for a £1.00. There are two different sizes in the pack, and you get a total of six of the smaller, and six of the larger clips, they are like a modified clothes peg, spring loaded, and clip onto the cane, supporting the plant, as the plant grows, you just move the clip up the stem. A bargain – and if you purchased in a garden centre would be more than a £1.00!
