Product Information

Full details

This 1m high carrot fly fence netting kit from Gardening Naturally is for gardeners struggling with carrot fly infestations. Its key benefit is creating a physical barrier to prevent flies from laying eggs on root vegetables, offering up to 5 meters of crop protection. A minor caveat is that while it targets carrot flies, its effectiveness against other low-flying insects may vary. This netting kit utilizes a fine mesh and height to deter carrot flies, protecting crops like carrots, parsnips, and celery. Key features include its 1-meter height, durable 125gsm mesh, included aluminum poles and clips for easy assembly, and reusability.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this netting?

The primary purpose is to act as a physical barrier to prevent carrot flies from laying eggs on crops like carrots, parsnips, and celery.

How tall is the netting?

The netting is 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) high.

Can this netting be cut to a smaller size?

Yes, the netting can be cut to the required length, but it's essential to maintain the full 1-meter height for effectiveness against carrot flies.

What materials are included in the kit?

The kit includes the netting, aluminum tubes for support, and secure clips for assembly.

How should I store the netting after use?

After harvesting, remove the netting, shake off soil, and store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to ensure its longevity.

Is this netting effective against all types of garden pests?

It is specifically designed for carrot flies, but the fine mesh may also help deter some other low-flying insects. It is not a universal pest solution.

Do I need any special tools to set it up?

No, the kit is designed for straightforward setup and does not require special tools.

Troubleshooting

Netting is not staying upright

Ensure aluminum tubes are firmly assembled and inserted securely into the ground or base of the plant bed. Use additional ground stakes if necessary (not included).

Flies are still getting under the netting

Verify that the netting is securely anchored to the ground all around the perimeter. Bury the edges slightly or use weights (stones, soil) to seal any gaps.

Mesh appears damaged after storage

Ensure the netting was stored completely dry and out of direct sunlight. Minor damage may not affect functionality, but significant tears should be repaired or the section replaced.
