Its primary purpose is to act as a physical barrier to protect garden vegetables and plants from butterflies and other insect pests, preventing them from laying eggs on crops without the use of chemicals.
It is ideal for brassicas such as cabbages and broccoli, as well as carrots, beans, peas, strawberries, and many other vegetable and fruit crops.
The fine mesh is designed to allow light, air, and rain to pass through, ensuring a healthy growing environment for your plants while keeping pests out.
Yes, the netting is lightweight and flexible, allowing it to be easily cut to fit any specific area or plant size without fraying.
You can secure the netting by draping it directly over crops, raised beds, or frames and then using pegs, garden weights, or by tucking the edges under soil or stones to create a seal.
Yes, it is designed to be reusable, rot-proof, and weather-resistant, making it a practical and sustainable solution for crop protection year after year.
When not in use, the netting can be easily folded and stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its quality for future seasons.
Ensure the edges are securely anchored with sufficient pegs, weights, or by burying the edges slightly into the soil. For windy areas, consider using heavier weights or additional securing points.
Check for any gaps or holes in the netting or along the secured edges. Ensure the mesh is fine enough for the specific pest. Re-secure all edges to create a complete seal.
Verify that the netting is allowing adequate light, air, and water penetration. Ensure it is not too tightly stretched, which could restrict airflow. Check that there are no blockages in the mesh.
