Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the netting carefully. Due to its weight, consider having a second person assist, especially for larger areas.
- Determine the area to be protected (e.g., garden bed, individual plant, fruit cage).
- Drape the netting over the plants or structure, ensuring it covers the entire area with some overlap.
- Secure the edges firmly to the ground using garden stakes, pegs, or weights. Ensure there are no gaps where pests can enter.
- For taller plants or cages, use poles or a frame to support the netting and maintain tension, preventing it from sagging onto the plants.
Compatibility:
This netting is compatible with most garden structures, including wooden frames, metal hoops, and existing garden beds. It can be used in conjunction with other garden protection methods.
Care:
- Clean the netting annually by gently hosing it down to remove dirt and debris.
- Store the netting rolled or folded in a dry place during the off-season to prolong its lifespan.
- Inspect periodically for any damage and repair promptly.
