Veggiemesh Insect Netting is a chemical-free solution for home gardeners and allotment users in the UK looking to protect their crops from a wide range of insect pests. It acts as a fine-mesh barrier that allows air, light, and rain to pass through, ensuring plants can grow naturally. While highly effective against many common pests, it's important to note that for very small pests like whitefly or leaf miners, an ultrafine mesh may be more suitable.

The mesh size is 1.35mm. This allows for 90% light passage and 95% air passage.
It protects against common garden pests like cabbage root fly, carrot fly, cabbage white butterfly, pea moth, leek moth, cutworm, onion fly, and many species of aphids.
Yes, it can be used on strawberries, raspberries, and currants. However, if the crop relies on bee pollination, you will need to temporarily lift the mesh during the flowering period.
Veggiemesh can remain in place from planting right up until harvest.
For smaller pests such as flea beetles, leaf miners, or whitefly, we recommend Veggiemesh Ultrafine, which has a tighter weave for more targeted protection.
You can lay it directly over plants, using pegs or burying the edges to seal gaps. It also works well over garden hoops or cages.
Yes, in addition to pest protection, Veggiemesh offers defense against mild frosts, wind damage, heavy rain, and hail.
Ensure edges are fully sealed by using sufficient netting pegs, clips, or by burying the sides firmly into the soil.
Check for any gaps or holes in the netting or along the secured edges. For very small pests like whitefly, consider Veggiemesh Ultrafine.
Verify that the mesh is not compacted by debris, which could hinder drainage. Ensure the mesh has not been stretched too tightly, preventing water runoff.
Ensure the netting is not tangled. If it feels heavy, it might be damp; allow it to dry or consider a slightly smaller section for easier management.
Setup:
Veggiemesh is straightforward to deploy. It can be laid directly over plants, ensuring you leave enough slack to accommodate plant growth. For best results, secure all edges using netting pegs, clips, or by burying them into the soil to prevent any gaps for pests to enter. Alternatively, it can be easily fitted over garden hoops, netting cages, or frames for added structure and support.
Compatibility:
This netting is suitable for a wide range of vegetables, including brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts), root vegetables (carrots, parsnips), alliums (onions, leeks), legumes (peas), leafy greens (lettuce, spinach), and oriental vegetables. It's also effective for fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and currants. The mesh is compatible with standard garden hoops, frames, and cages.
Care:
To maintain the effectiveness of your Veggiemesh, periodically check for any tears or damage. Clean gently with water if it becomes soiled; avoid harsh chemicals. Store the netting clean and dry when not in use to prolong its lifespan. Ensure it is stored away from sharp objects or abrasive surfaces.
