Product Information

Full details

Veggiemesh insect netting is designed for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking a chemical-free way to protect vegetables and soft fruits from a wide array of insect pests and birds. Its key benefit is providing a physical barrier that stops insects while allowing essential air, light, and rain to reach your crops. A caveat to consider is that fruiting plants relying on pollinators may need temporary mesh removal during flowering.

FAQs

What types of pests does Veggiemesh protect against?

Veggiemesh protects against a wide range of insect pests including cabbage root fly, carrot fly, cabbage white butterfly, pea moth, leek moth, cutworm, onion fly, and many types of aphids. It also offers protection against birds.

Can I use Veggiemesh on all my plants?

It is particularly effective for brassicas, carrots, leeks, onions, peas, salads, and seedlings. For fruiting plants that require pollination, remember to lift the mesh during flowering.

Does the netting block sunlight and rain?

No, Veggiemesh is designed with a fine mesh that allows air, light, and rain to pass through to the plants underneath.

How do I secure the netting around my plants?

You can secure the edges by using netting pegs or clips, or by burying the sides of the netting into the soil. Ensure there are no gaps for pests to enter.

What is the difference between Veggiemesh and Veggiemesh Ultrafine?

Veggiemesh Ultrafine has a tighter weave and is recommended for smaller pests like flea beetles and whitefly, offering more targeted protection than the standard Veggiemesh.

Can this netting protect against frost?

Yes, Veggiemesh provides an additional layer of protection against mild frosts, as well as wind damage and heavy rain.

How long can Veggiemesh remain on my plants?

Veggiemesh can remain in place from planting through to harvest, offering continuous protection throughout the growing season.

Troubleshooting

Insects are still getting under the netting.

Ensure all edges of the Veggiemesh are completely sealed. Bury the sides into the soil or use sufficient netting pegs/clips to prevent any gaps.

Plants seem to be growing slowly or are water-stressed.

Check that the netting is not too taut and is allowing sufficient light and air. Ensure you are watering the plants adequately underneath the netting.

Netting is torn or damaged.

Repair small tears carefully using fine thread or a mending patch. For significant damage, it may be necessary to replace the section or the entire piece.

Pollination issues on fruiting plants.

Temporarily lift or remove the netting during the plant's flowering period to allow bees and other pollinators access.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides effective, chemical-free protection against a broad range of insect pests.
Allows essential resources (air, light, rain) to reach plants.
Lightweight and simple to install and manage.
Offers additional protection against weather-related stress.
Can be used throughout the entire growing season.

Cons

May require temporary removal for pollinating crops during flowering.
Ultrafine variant is recommended for very small pests like whitefly.
Edges must be securely sealed to prevent insect entry.
Requires sufficient slack to accommodate plant growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Lay the Veggiemesh directly over plants, ensuring enough slack is left to allow for plant growth. Alternatively, drape it over garden hoops or cages.
Secure the edges firmly. This can be achieved by using netting pegs or clips, or by burying the edges into the soil to create a seal.
For crops that rely on pollination (e.g., fruiting plants), plan to temporarily lift the mesh during the flowering period to allow pollinators access.

Compatibility:

Suitable for use directly over vegetable beds, fruit bushes, and individual plants.
Compatible with garden hoops, garden cages, and other forms of plant support.
Recommended for crops such as brassicas, carrots, leeks, onions, peas, salads, and seedlings.
For smaller pests like flea beetles or whitefly, consider Veggiemesh Ultrafine.
