The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an essential tool for home gardeners and allotment enthusiasts looking to protect brassicas and leafy vegetables from butterfly larvae and other pests without relying on chemical pesticides. It provides a highly effective physical barrier that allows sunlight, water, and air to reach your crops while preventing butterflies from landing and laying eggs. While the blue mesh is highly effective, users should note that they must ensure the edges are secured tightly to the soil or frame to prevent smaller pests from crawling underneath.

Yes, it is designed to be left on throughout the growing season to provide continuous protection against pests.
No, this netting is primarily designed to act as a barrier against flying insects like butterflies; it will not prevent ground-dwelling pests from reaching your crops.
Absolutely. It uses a physical barrier method rather than chemicals, making it ideal for organic growing practices.
Clean off any soil or plant debris, allow it to dry completely, fold it, and store it in a dry, dark place.
Yes, it can be draped over fruit bushes to provide protection, though it is most commonly used for vegetable beds.
Ensure the netting is not touching the leaves directly and verify that there are no gaps between the netting and the soil where insects could slip through.
Use more ground pegs or increase the weight around the perimeter to ensure the material remains pinned to the ground.
To install, drape the netting over your desired area and secure the edges using ground staples, garden pegs, or heavy stones to ensure no gaps remain. If using on raised beds, staples or wooden battens are ideal for a taut, clean fit. Since the netting is rot-proof, minimal care is required; if the netting becomes dirty, simply hose it down and let it air dry. At the end of the season, remove the netting, shake off any debris, fold it neatly, and store it in a cool, dry shed or garage to prolong its lifespan.
