Product Information

Full details

Veggiemesh is a lightweight, chemical-free garden netting designed for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking to protect their crops from insect pests. It acts as a physical barrier, preventing insects from reaching plants while allowing air, light, and rain to pass through, promoting healthy growth. A key benefit is its effectiveness against common pests like cabbage root fly, carrot fly, and aphids. However, for very small pests such as whitefly or flea beetles, a finer mesh might be more suitable.

FAQs

What is Veggiemesh made of?

Veggiemesh is a lightweight mesh barrier designed to protect crops.

Can Veggiemesh be used for organic gardening?

Yes, Veggiemesh provides chemical-free protection, making it suitable for organic gardening practices.

What pests does Veggiemesh protect against?

It effectively deters common garden pests such as cabbage root fly, carrot fly, cabbage white butterfly, pea moth, leek moth, cutworm, onion fly, and various aphids.

Is Veggiemesh suitable for all types of plants?

It is ideal for brassicas, carrots, leeks, onions, peas, salads, and seedlings. For fruiting plants relying on pollinators, it needs temporary lifting during flowering.

What should I do if I have very small pests like whitefly?

For smaller pests like flea beetles, leaf miners, or whitefly, Veggiemesh® Ultrafine with its tighter weave is recommended.

How long can Veggiemesh stay on the plants?

Veggiemesh can remain in place from planting all the way through to harvest.

How do I ensure the netting is properly secured?

Secure the edges with pegs or by burying them into the soil to prevent any insects from getting underneath.

Troubleshooting

Insects are still getting under the netting.

Ensure the edges are completely sealed by burying them in soil or using secure pegs. Check for any gaps or holes in the mesh itself.

Plants seem to be outgrowing the netting too quickly.

Provide more slack during initial setup. Consider using taller supports or frames to allow for vertical growth.

Netting is blocking too much sunlight.

Ensure the netting is properly supported so it does not sag onto the plants. For most applications, the mesh allows sufficient light penetration.

Fruiting plants are not setting fruit.

Temporarily lift or remove the netting during the flowering period to allow pollinators access to the blossoms.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides effective, chemical-free pest control.
Allows essential resources like water and air to reach plants.
Offers additional protection against weather elements.
Easy to deploy and adaptable to different garden setups.
Reusable and durable for multiple growing seasons.

Cons

May not be effective against very small pests like whitefly or flea beetles (consider Ultrafine variant).
Requires careful sealing of edges to prevent insect entry.
Needs temporary lifting for pollinating fruiting crops during flowering.
Requires adequate slack to accommodate plant growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Lay the netting directly over plants or create a frame using garden hoops or poles.
Ensure enough slack is allowed to accommodate plant growth throughout the season.
Secure the edges firmly using pegs, stones, or by burying them into the soil to prevent pests from entering underneath.
For fruiting plants that rely on pollinators (like tomatoes or beans), plan to temporarily lift or open the netting during the flowering period to allow pollinators access.

Compatibility:

Veggiemesh is suitable for a wide variety of vegetables, including brassicas, carrots, leeks, onions, peas, salads, and seedlings. For smaller pests, consider the Veggiemesh Ultrafine variant.

Care:

Clean the netting gently with water to remove soil or debris. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
