Full details

This ultra-fine insect netting from Gardening Naturally is ideal for gardeners looking to protect vegetable crops from damaging small pests like flea beetle, allium leaf miner, and whitefly. Its primary benefit is allowing healthy crop growth by significantly reducing pest-related damage, though its ultra-fine mesh may slightly reduce light and air passage compared to standard netting. Key features include its 0.8mm x 0.8mm mesh size, durability for 7-10 years with care, and versatile application methods.

FAQs

What specific pests does this ultra-fine netting protect against?

It is particularly effective against small pests like flea beetle, allium leaf miner, whitefly, and other similar-sized insects that commonly damage vegetable crops.

How does the mesh size affect light and air passage?

The ultra-fine mesh has a slightly tighter structure than standard netting, but the yarn thickness is smaller, allowing for comparable light and air passage, ensuring plants can still thrive.

Can this netting be used for fruit trees?

While primarily designed for vegetable crops and greenhouse screening, netting bags in ultra-fine Veggiemesh are available for fruit protection. This specific roll may not be ideal for wrapping entire trees but could be adapted for smaller bushes.

What is the expected lifespan of the netting?

With careful handling and proper storage, the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh insect netting is designed to last between 7 to 10 years.

How should I store the netting when not in use?

It is best to clean any soil off the netting and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects, to prevent damage and degradation.

Is this netting suitable for organic gardening?

Yes, as it provides a physical barrier and does not rely on chemicals for pest control, making it suitable for organic gardening practices.

What are the dimensions of this particular product?

This specific product, MPN UF183, is 1.8m wide and 3m long.

Troubleshooting

Netting does not seem to be stopping pests

Ensure the netting is properly secured around the edges and there are no gaps where pests can enter. Check if the pest is small enough to pass through the 0.8mm mesh.

Reduced plant growth observed

Verify that the netting is not completely blocking sunlight or air circulation. Ensure it is not laid flat and suffocating plants; use supports like hoops.

Netting is torn or damaged

Repair small tears with fine stitching or appropriate tape. For significant damage, consider replacing the affected section or the entire piece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Lay the netting directly over your crops, ensuring it is adequately secured at the edges with soil, stones, or pegs to prevent pests from entering underneath.
Alternatively, use it over existing hoops, frames, or garden cages. Ensure there are no large gaps where insects could enter.
For greenhouse applications, cut to size and secure around vents, doors, or windows to create a tight seal.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most vegetable crops, including brassicas, carrots, onions, leeks, and leafy greens.
Suitable for use with hoops, tunnels, cages, and greenhouse structures.
