FAQs

What specific insects does Ultra Fine Veggiemesh protect against?

It is particularly effective against small insects such as flea beetle, allium leaf miner, and whitefly, and helps prevent damage from other small garden pests.

How long will the netting last?

With proper care, the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh insect netting is designed to last between 7 to 10 years.

Can this netting be used on a greenhouse?

Yes, it is excellent for screening greenhouse doors and vents to exclude insects while still allowing light and air to pass through.

Will the netting block too much sunlight or air?

The yarn thickness is finer than standard Veggiemesh, allowing for light and air passage comparable to standard netting, ensuring plants receive adequate resources.

What is the mesh size of this netting?

The mesh size is 0.8mm x 0.8mm.

What is the weight of the netting?

The weight of the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh is 75gsm.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

Store the netting in a dry, shaded location, folded loosely or rolled, to protect it from UV damage and moisture. Ensure it's clean before storing.

Troubleshooting

Netting appears to be reducing airflow significantly

Ensure the netting is not pressed directly against plant leaves, which can impede air circulation. Adjust frames or supports to create more space. Check for any blockages on the netting itself.

Small insects are still finding their way through

Verify that the mesh size is appropriate for the specific pest. Ensure the netting is securely anchored with no gaps around the edges. Check for any pre-existing tears or damage.

Netting is difficult to secure without damaging it

Use broad, flat objects like rocks or soil to weigh down the edges. For frames, consider using large, heavy-duty clips or ties that distribute pressure, rather than small, sharp fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Direct Laying: Unroll the netting and carefully lay it directly over your crops, ensuring it extends beyond the plant base to prevent insects from crawling underneath. Secure the edges with soil, rocks, or pegs.
Hoops and Cages: Drape the netting over a garden frame, hoops, or cages, creating a tent-like structure. Ensure the netting is taut but not overly stretched. Secure the base firmly to the ground.
Greenhouse Screening: Cut the netting to size and attach it securely to greenhouse doors and vents using clips, staples, or Velcro. Ensure there are no gaps where insects can enter.

Compatibility:

This netting is compatible with most garden setups, including raised beds, ground-level crops, hoop tunnels, and standard greenhouse structures. It can be used with various vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

Care:

Cleaning: After the growing season, gently clean the netting with water to remove soil and debris. Avoid harsh detergents.
Storage: Store the netting in a dry, shaded place, folded loosely or rolled, to prevent degradation from UV light and moisture. Ensure it is free from pests or diseases before storing.
Inspection: Before and after use, inspect the netting for any tears or holes. Minor repairs can often be made with fine mending tape or by careful stitching.
