    Plastic Green Plant/Tomato Clips

    Not sure if this is the right place for this thread.

    My father in law bought a pack of the below green plastic plant/Tomato clips a couple of years ago. I need a few more but he can't remember where he bought them from. I bought a pack of simpler one from B&M but they are rubbish they wont clip onto the cane or fit around the Tomato plants.

    Anyone know where I could bought some from. I've looked on the net but just keeps coming up with the one from B&M.




    It's not these one.

    Thanks!

    Sorry Natalie but you have confused me with your question.

          Thank you so much for finding them for me! I feel really stupid now with you finding them so quickly. I even looked on eBay myself!

              That's where I got mine from, or I think I also got some from the pound shop. Haven't used many of them though .....

                I've bought them off eBay now. I did look in Poundland. The father in law did say he might have bought them from a cheap shop.

                  On the other hand some people including me had never heard of these things, and I have now ordered some from ebay. I always feel bad about using plastic ties, which are thrown away at the end of the season. Maybe we need more stupid members ... (And yes, I will do my bit to further that aspiration.)

                    Don't want to disappoint you but they do fall apart if you're not careful with them. String wins

                      Going to gain say you there VC about you can't beat string that is... They fall apart but I have tried these this year and so far they are great. Each one is a 170mm long which is plenty big enough for tom's. But you can fit them to each other to make any length you want and because they are adjustable they will fit securely on any size of cane. £3 for 50 B&Q.

                        I started out with both the ties and clips but soon found that they cut into my tomato stems, so nice soft string it is for me. Anyone want any clips lol

                          I use cut up tights/stocking to fasten my toms to the canes.

                            This is the second year I've use the clips and they are as good as new.

                              Me too bren, being a tight sod like. (No double entendre intended). I also got some of that soft green twisty stuff from b&m for 99p. I also have some lengths of cable which has a very thin wire core, but a thick plastic covering. I also use lengths of tights to support trusses on the toms. Oh, and cable ties. Million and one for thruppence halfpenny. All good gear.
