Product Information

Full details

This Gardening Naturally Biodegradable Netting is designed for organic gardeners seeking an eco-friendly solution for protecting vegetable crops from pests. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, chemical-free barrier against a wide range of insects while allowing essential light and water to reach plants. A potential consideration is that while durable for multiple seasons, it is biodegradable and will eventually break down.

FAQs

What is the mesh size of this netting?

The mesh size is 0.85mm x 0.85mm, which is ultra-fine to block a wide range of small insect pests.

How long will this netting last outdoors?

The netting has a minimum outdoor lifespan of three years, making it suitable for multiple growing seasons.

What happens to the netting after it degrades?

It breaks down naturally into carbon dioxide and water, leaving no harmful microplastics. It is fully compostable and can be added to your compost heap.

Can I use this netting with chemical pesticides?

This netting is designed as a chemical-free barrier. While it can be used in conjunction with approved organic treatments, its primary purpose is to eliminate the need for chemical pesticides.

What types of pests does this netting protect against?

It protects against common vegetable pests including cabbage root fly, cabbage white butterfly, carrot fly, onion fly, pea moth, leek moth, flea beetles, leaf miners, aphids, whitefly, and cutworms.

Is this netting suitable for organic gardening?

Yes, it is approved for organic gardening and is made from 100% renewable cornstarch.

How is the netting installed?

It is lightweight and can be draped over garden hoops, cages, or directly onto crops, secured with garden pegs or by weighing down the edges.

Troubleshooting

Netting seems less effective at blocking pests.

Ensure all edges are securely anchored to the ground, and there are no gaps where pests can enter. Check the mesh for any tears or damage that may have occurred during installation or use.

Netting is degrading faster than expected.

While designed for a minimum of 3 years, extreme weather conditions or prolonged UV exposure can accelerate degradation. Ensure proper installation that minimizes direct, constant stress on the material.

Plants are not receiving enough sunlight.

Verify that the netting is clean and free from significant debris. While it allows 90% light, heavy dirt buildup could slightly reduce transmission. Ensure the netting is not overlapping excessively in a way that creates denser shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the netting carefully. Drape it over garden hoops, structures, or directly onto plants. Ensure the edges are secured firmly to the ground using garden pegs, stones, or soil to prevent pests from entering underneath. For row crops, create a tunnel effect with hoops and cover with the netting, burying the edges.

Compatibility: This netting is compatible with most common garden structures, including vegetable cages, cloches, and hoop tunnels. It is suitable for use on a wide variety of vegetables such as brassicas, carrots, onions, peas, beans, and leafy greens. It is approved for use in organic gardening systems.

Care: No specific maintenance is required during the growing season. Periodically check that the netting is securely in place. At the end of its lifespan (minimum 3 years outdoors), the netting can be removed and added to a compost heap. Ensure it is composted in a suitable environment where it can break down naturally.
