Expert Response
Shepherd's hooks are made out of various materials depending on manufacturer, but I believe most are made out of steel or wrought iron. Either way, I can't think of any metals used in the garden that would affect your tomatoes. They should make great supports for the tomatoes.
Thanks!!
