The fastener for attaching a grape vine to a support such as a trellis wire consists of a strip with slots molded from a thermoplastic material comprising butadiene and modified by a vegetable substance to make it more photodegradable. The vegetable substances absorb moisture on exposure to air and cause the fastener to break down after a period of time and virtually disappear in the soil. The fastener for attaching a grape vine to a support such as a trellis wire consists of a strip with slots molded from a thermoplastic material comprising butadiene and containing 1 - 10 per cent of a vegetable substance such as chips of wood, wheat, maize to make it more photodegradable. Exposed to the air, the vegetable substances absorb moisture and cause the fastener to break down after a period of time and virtually disappear in the soil.
