People who are growing, what do you use for twine? Where do you get it? Having trouble sourcing heavy duty jute.

Super cheap yellow nylon rope is all I use.

Re: Twine for hops?
Yeah I tried using natural fiber twine but it always snapped in the wind and rain. If the yellow stuff works I say do that

I just use thin nylon twine / rope (white) from Dollarama. I may have had one break on my over the years (storm, etc) but it seems to be decent. I do new runs every year of course. The yellow rope would obviously be sturdier though.

All depends on exposure I think. I live in an unsheltered, high wind area. Might be different if you got some wind break, etc.
