Years ago I found a roll of soft Velcro ties that you can cut to length. I do the same thing and use them over and over. They’ve really held up well and are not abrasive to tomato stems, or whatever. I have some holding up MONSTER-SIZED Sunflowers right now. :)
Interesting. Another thing I like about the twist tie roll is it is bright green, easy to find for removal. My dad was really old school, used twine but cut willow branches from the state park every year for tomato stakes. He liked willow because it had some bend to it.
