Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lay the netting directly over plants or position it over garden hoops or cages.
- Ensure the netting is loosely fitted to allow for plant growth and air circulation.
- Secure the edges firmly into the soil, or weigh them down with stones or bricks, to prevent pests from entering from underneath.
Compatibility:
Veggiemesh is compatible with most garden structures, including hoops, tunnels, and frames. It can be used on raised beds, ground-level gardens, and containers. For fruiting plants that rely on insect pollination (e.g., tomatoes, cucumbers, squash), the netting must be temporarily lifted or opened during the flowering period to allow pollinators access. For very small pests, consider Veggiemesh Ultrafine.
Care:
- Clean the netting annually or as needed by gently rinsing it with water. Avoid using harsh detergents.
- Store the netting in a dry, shaded place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
- Inspect for any tears or damage before and after use. Small tears can sometimes be mended with fine stitching or tape.
