Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure the area you wish to protect.
- Cut the netting to the desired size using scissors or a craft knife. The material will not fray.
- Drape the netting directly over your crops, plants, raised beds, or frames.
- Secure the edges firmly to the ground using garden pegs, stones, or weights to prevent pests from entering from underneath.
Compatibility:
This netting is suitable for protecting a wide range of vegetables and plants, including but not limited to:
- Brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale)
- Leafy greens (lettuce, spinach)
- Root vegetables (carrots, parsnips - to prevent carrot fly)
- Fruit (strawberries, raspberries)
- Young plants and seedlings.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently rinse with water to remove dirt or debris. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly.
- Storage: After the growing season, clean the netting and allow it to dry completely. Fold it neatly and store in a dry place, such as a shed or garage, to maintain its condition for future use.
- Maintenance: Inspect regularly for any tears or damage. Small repairs can be made with strong tape if necessary.
