Product Information

Full details

This Ultra Fine Veggiemesh insect netting from Gardening Naturally is for vegetable growers seeking to protect their crops from small, damaging insects like flea beetle, allium leaf miner, and whitefly. Its key benefit is enabling healthy crop growth by significantly reducing pest-related damage. A potential caveat is that while it allows good light and air passage, its effectiveness relies on proper installation to ensure no gaps. This finely woven netting acts as a physical barrier, creating a protected environment for your vegetables throughout the growing season.

FAQs

What specific insects does Ultra Fine Veggiemesh keep out?

It is particularly effective against smaller insects such as flea beetle, allium leaf miner, and whitefly. Its fine mesh size deters a wider range of small pests than standard netting.

Will this netting reduce sunlight and air circulation too much?

No, the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh is designed to allow good passage of both light and air, comparable to standard Veggiemesh, due to the use of thinner yarn.

Can I use this netting over fruit trees?

While primarily designed for vegetable crops, netting bags made from Ultra Fine Veggiemesh are available for protecting fruit, and the netting can be adapted for smaller fruit bushes.

How durable is the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh?

The netting is designed for season-long protection and is reasonably durable. Proper care and storage will extend its lifespan.

What is the weight of the netting?

The weight of the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh is 75gsm.

What are the available sizes?

The Ultra Fine Veggiemesh is available in various widths and lengths, including options by the metre and in pre-cut rolls of 10m or 20m.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying in place.

Ensure you are using enough securing pegs or weights. For greenhouse applications, check that all edges are properly sealed with clips or tape.

Small insects are still getting through.

Inspect the netting for any tears or holes. Ensure there are no gaps at the edges where the netting meets the ground or structure. Re-secure any loose areas.

Netting is snagging on plants or structures.

Handle the netting with care during installation and removal. Trim any sharp points on plants or structures that might catch the mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the area or crops you wish to cover.
  2. Cut the netting to the required size, allowing for overlap or draping.
