Veggiemesh Insect Netting is a chemical-free solution for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking to protect their crops from a variety of common garden pests. This lightweight, fine-mesh barrier effectively stops insects like cabbage root fly, carrot fly, and aphids from damaging plants while allowing essential air, light, and rain to penetrate. A key caveat is that for fruiting plants relying on pollinators, the mesh may need temporary removal during flowering.

Veggiemesh is a fine-mesh barrier made from lightweight material designed to stop insects while allowing air, light, and rain through.
It protects against common garden pests such as cabbage root fly, carrot fly, cabbage white butterfly, pea moth, leek moth, cutworm, onion fly, and many types of aphids.
Yes, if your fruiting plants rely on pollinators like bees, you should temporarily lift or remove the mesh during the flowering period to allow for pollination. Reapply afterwards.
Effectiveness relies on creating a complete barrier. Ensure all edges are securely sealed to the ground or structure, leaving no gaps for insects to enter.
Yes, in addition to pest protection, Veggiemesh helps shield crops from mild frosts, wind damage, and heavy rain.
For smaller pests such as flea beetles or whitefly, 'Veggiemesh Ultrafine' is recommended as it offers a finer mesh.
Ensure enough slack is incorporated when initially laying the mesh to accommodate the plants' expected growth throughout the season without becoming taut.
Ensure all edges of the netting are fully sealed. Bury the sides into the soil or use secure pegs/clips around the entire perimeter to eliminate any gaps.
Check that the netting is not too taut, restricting growth. Ensure sufficient slack is provided. Verify that air and light are still penetrating effectively; clean any accumulated debris if necessary.
Temporarily lift or remove the netting during the flowering stage to allow pollinators like bees access to the blossoms. Reapply after pollination is complete.
Setup: Veggiemesh can be laid directly over plants or supported by garden hoops or cages. Ensure adequate slack is provided for plant growth. Secure all edges firmly using netting pegs, clips, or by burying them into the soil to prevent gaps. For fruiting plants that require pollination by insects (like bees), temporarily lift or remove the mesh during the flowering period.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with most garden plants, especially vegetables. For extremely small pests such as flea beetles or whitefly, consider 'Veggiemesh Ultrafine'.
Care: After use, clean the netting by gently rinsing or shaking off debris. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
