Product Information

Full details

This ultra-fine insect netting from Gardening Naturally is designed for vegetable gardeners seeking to protect their crops from small, damaging insects like flea beetle, allium leaf miner, and whitefly. Its primary benefit is enabling healthy crop growth with reduced pest damage. A caveat to consider is that while it allows good light and air passage, it is a physical barrier and requires proper installation to be most effective. Key features include its ultra-fine mesh, durable construction, and versatility in application.

FAQs

Which specific insects does Ultra Fine Veggiemesh keep out?

It is designed to keep out small insects such as flea beetle, allium leaf miner, and whitefly. It is not effective against larger pests or birds.

How much light and air does this netting allow?

The light and air passage are comparable to standard Veggiemesh, as the yarn thickness is finer, allowing sufficient passage for healthy plant growth.

Can I use this netting on existing garden structures?

Yes, it can be laid directly over crops, or used over hoops, garden cages, and to screen glasshouse doors and vents.

What is the weight of the netting?

The weight of the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh insect netting is 75gsm.

How do I clean the netting?

Gently brush off debris. If needed, rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before storing.

What are the available sizes?

The netting is available in various widths and lengths, including options to buy per meter, to accommodate different garden needs.

Is this netting suitable for organic gardening?

Yes, as it provides a physical barrier to pests without the need for chemical treatments, making it a good option for organic pest control.

Troubleshooting

Netting is difficult to secure tightly.

Use extra pegs or weights along the edges, or consider building a simple frame to support the netting and create a better seal.

Small holes are appearing in the netting.

Check for sharp objects or abrasive surfaces in contact with the netting. Handle with care and repair small tears with fine thread or tape.

Pests are still getting through.

Ensure the netting is fully sealed at the edges and any seams are overlapped. Check for any gaps or unweighted areas where pests could enter.

Netting is tangled.

Gently untangle by hand, working from the outside in. Avoid forceful pulling which can damage the mesh.
