FAQs

What specific pests does Ultra Fine Veggiemesh keep out?

It is designed to keep out smaller insects such as flea beetle, allium leaf miner, whitefly, and other similar-sized garden pests that can damage vegetable crops.

How long does the netting typically last?

With proper care and handling, the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh insect netting can last between 7 to 10 years.

Can I use this netting on my greenhouse?

Yes, it is excellent for screening greenhouse doors and vents to exclude insects while allowing for airflow.

Does the fine mesh affect airflow and light?

The yarn thickness is finer than standard Veggiemesh, meaning it allows for similar light and air passage, crucial for plant health.

How do I install the netting over my crops?

You can lay it directly over crops, or for better support and airflow, use it with hoops or garden cages, ensuring the edges are sealed to the ground.

What is the mesh size of this netting?

The mesh size is 0.8mm x 0.8mm, making it effective against very small insect pests.

Is this netting heavy?

No, the netting weighs 75gsm, making it lightweight and easy to handle and install without stressing plants.

Troubleshooting

Netting tears easily

Handle with care during installation and removal. Avoid sharp objects and excessive force. Repair small tears with fine thread or tape.

Insects still getting through

Ensure the netting is sealed to the ground or structure. Check for any gaps or holes. The mesh size is 0.8mm, so very tiny insects may still pass.

Reduced light to plants

While designed to allow good light passage, monitor plants for signs of insufficient light and consider supplemental lighting if necessary, or ensure netting is not left on longer than required.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and long-lasting (7-10 years with care).
  • Versatile for various garden setups (ground cover, hoops, greenhouses).

  • Lightweight and easy to deploy.

Cons

  • May slightly reduce light and air compared to no netting.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid damage.
  • Specific sizes may need to be cut from larger rolls, potentially leading to waste if not planned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the netting carefully to avoid snagging or tearing.
  2. Lay it directly over crops, ensuring it reaches the ground to prevent pests from crawling underneath, or place it over hoops or garden cages.
  3. Secure the edges with soil, pegs, or weights to create a sealed barrier.
  4. For greenhouses, cut to size and fix securely over doors and vents.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most vegetable crops, including leafy greens, root vegetables, and herbs.
  • Suitable for use with garden hoops, tunnels, and greenhouse structures.

Care:

  • Clean the netting periodically by gently rinsing with water to remove accumulated dust or debris.
  • Inspect for any tears or damage before each use and repair if necessary.
  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
