Veggiemesh Insect Netting is designed for home gardeners seeking a chemical-free way to protect vegetables and soft fruits from pests, birds, and other garden nuisances. Its primary benefit is creating a physical barrier that stops insects while allowing air, light, and rain to pass through, promoting healthy growth. A potential consideration is that fruiting plants relying on pollinators may need temporary mesh lifting during flowering.

The mesh size for this Veggiemesh is 1.35mm. This is effective for most common garden pests but may not stop extremely small insects like flea beetles or whitefly.
Yes, but for fruiting plants that rely on insect pollinators like bees, you will need to temporarily lift or open the netting during their flowering period to allow pollinators access.
Veggiemesh allows approximately 90% light passage and 95% air passage, ensuring plants receive adequate light and ventilation.
It protects against a wide range of pests including cabbage root fly, carrot fly, cabbage white butterfly, pea moth, leek moth, cutworm, onion fly, and many types of aphids.
Yes, Veggiemesh can offer some protection against mild frosts, wind damage, and heavy rain, helping to reduce weather stress on your plants.
Secure the edges by burying them into the soil, using netting pegs, or weighing them down with stones or other heavy objects to prevent pests from entering underneath.
The approximate weight is 55gms/sq.m, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
Ensure the edges are securely anchored into the soil using pegs, stones, or by burying them deeply. Consider using heavier anchors or securing it to a more robust frame if using hoops.
Check all edges for gaps. Re-secure the netting, ensuring there is no space between the mesh and the ground. Burying the edges deeper can be very effective.
Verify that the netting is allowing sufficient air and water to pass through. Ensure it is not stretched too tightly, restricting plant expansion. For very hot weather, consider providing additional shade or temporarily lifting the netting.
Handle the netting with care, especially when unrolling or removing it. Avoid sharp objects. Check for any snags on plants or the ground that could cause tears.

Compatibility:
Veggiemesh is compatible with a wide range of vegetables and soft fruits, including brassicas, carrots, leeks, onions, peas, salads, and seedlings. It can be used with various garden structures like hoops, tunnels, and cages. For fruiting plants that rely on insect pollination (e.g., strawberries, certain beans, tomatoes), the netting must be temporarily lifted or opened during the flowering period to allow pollinators access. For extremely small pests like flea beetles or whitefly, consider Veggiemesh Ultrafine, which has a tighter weave.
