Product Information

Full details

This ultra-fine insect netting from Gardening Naturally is designed for home gardeners seeking to protect vegetable crops from damaging small pests like flea beetles, allium leaf miners, and whitefly. Its key benefit is enabling healthy plant growth with reduced pest-induced damage. A potential caveat is its finely woven structure, which may slightly reduce airflow compared to coarser nets, though the manufacturer states light and air passage are comparable to standard Veggiemesh due to thinner yarn.

FAQs

What specific insects does Ultra Fine Veggiemesh keep out?

It is designed to effectively block smaller insect pests such as flea beetle, allium leaf miner, and whitefly.

Can I use this netting on my greenhouse?

Yes, it can be used to screen greenhouse doors and vents to exclude insects.

How much light does the netting allow?

The light passage is similar to standard Veggiemesh because the yarn thickness is smaller, allowing adequate light for plant growth.

What is the weight of the netting?

The netting weighs 75gsm (grams per square meter).

How should I clean the netting?

Gently rinse with water. A soft brush can be used for dirt, but avoid abrasive materials.

Can I use this netting for seedlings?

Yes, it is suitable for protecting young plants and seedlings from early pest damage.

Are there different sizes available?

Yes, Ultra Fine Veggiemesh is available in various widths and lengths, including options sold by the meter and in pre-cut rolls.

Troubleshooting

Netting is torn or damaged

Repair small tears using fine-gauge thread and a needle, or use special netting repair tape. For significant damage, consider replacing the affected section or the entire netting.

Pests are still getting through

Ensure the netting is secured tightly to the ground or structure, with no gaps. Check for any existing holes or inadequate coverage. Confirm the pest is one that the ultra-fine mesh is designed to block.

Reduced air circulation observed

While designed for good air passage, in extremely humid or still conditions, ensure adequate spacing from plants or consider adding ventilation points if used as a greenhouse screen.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Effectively prevents damage from small, common garden pests.
Promotes healthier vegetable growth by reducing pest infestation.
Flexible usage for direct crop coverage or structure screening.
Maintains good light and air permeability for plant vitality.
Available in multiple sizes to fit various gardening setups.

Cons

The ultra-fine mesh might slightly impede air circulation in very humid conditions compared to nets with larger openings.
Requires proper installation to ensure a complete seal against pests.
Can be more expensive than standard insect netting due to the finer weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Direct Laying: Unroll the netting directly over susceptible crops. Ensure it covers the plants completely, extending to the soil line to prevent pests from crawling underneath.
Hoops & Cages: Drape the netting over garden hoops or a pre-built cage structure. Secure the edges firmly to the ground using soil, stones, or garden pegs to create a barrier.
Greenhouse Screening: Cut the netting to size and attach it securely over greenhouse doors and vents using staples, tape, or clips. Ensure there are no gaps where insects can enter.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most common garden structures like hoops, tunnels, and cages.
Suitable for use over a wide range of vegetable crops, including brassicas, onions, carrots, lettuce, and fruits.
Can be used in conjunction with watering systems, provided the water can penetrate the mesh.

Care:

Cleaning: After the growing season, or if the netting becomes soiled, gently rinse it with water. A soft brush can be used for stubborn dirt, but avoid abrasive materials that could damage the fine mesh.
Storage: Allow the netting to dry completely before storing it to prevent mold or mildew. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects that could cause tears.
Inspection: Before and after each use, inspect the netting for any damage, such as tears or holes, and repair them promptly to maintain its effectiveness.
