Product Information

Full details

Veggiemesh Insect Netting is designed for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking a chemical-free method to protect vegetables and soft fruit from insect pests, birds, and other garden nuisances. Its primary benefit is providing a lightweight, fine-mesh barrier that stops pests while allowing essential air, light, and rain to reach plants. A key consideration is that fruiting plants relying on pollinators may require temporary mesh lifting during flowering.

FAQs

What is the mesh size of Veggiemesh?

The standard Veggiemesh has a mesh size of 1.35mm. For smaller pests like whitefly, Veggiemesh Ultrafine is recommended.

Can Veggiemesh be used on fruiting plants that need pollination?

Yes, but you will need to temporarily lift or remove the mesh during the flowering period to allow pollinators, such as bees, to access the plants.

How does Veggiemesh protect against weather?

It provides a physical barrier that helps shield plants from mild frosts, strong winds, and heavy rainfall, reducing stress on the plants.

How long can Veggiemesh be left on plants?

Veggiemesh can remain in place from the time of planting through to harvest, offering continuous protection.

What common pests does Veggiemesh protect against?

It protects against many common pests including cabbage root fly, carrot fly, cabbage white butterfly, pea moth, leek moth, cutworm, onion fly, and various aphids.

How do I ensure the mesh is properly sealed?

You can secure the edges by using netting pegs or clips, or by burying the sides of the mesh into the soil to create a tight seal that prevents insects from entering.

What is the weight of the netting?

The weight of the Veggiemesh is approximately 55gms per square meter.

Troubleshooting

Insects are still getting under the mesh.

Ensure all edges are completely sealed. Use more pegs or clips, or bury the edges deeper into the soil to eliminate any gaps.

Plants appear waterlogged or are not receiving enough light.

While the mesh is permeable, check that the mesh is not sagging and pooling water. Ensure it is adequately supported and that light is reaching the plants. For very dense foliage, ensure sufficient air circulation.

Mesh is too tight and restricting plant growth.

Ensure enough slack was allowed during initial setup. If plants have grown significantly, carefully loosen and readjust the mesh, or consider if a larger size is needed for mature plants.

Mesh is torn.

Repair small tears with insect-proof tape or by carefully stitching. For large tears, consider replacing the affected section or the entire piece if damage is extensive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides effective, chemical-free protection against numerous garden pests.
Allows sufficient air, light, and rain penetration for healthy plant growth.
Lightweight and easy to set up and manage.
Offers additional protection against adverse weather conditions.
Can be used in conjunction with existing garden structures.

Cons

May need to be temporarily lifted for pollinating crops during flowering.
Requires careful sealing of edges to prevent pest entry.
Ultrafine version is recommended for very small pests like whitefly.
Requires allowance for plant growth when placed directly over crops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Prepare your garden bed or plants.
Unroll the Veggiemesh, ensuring enough slack is allowed for plant growth if laying directly over crops.
Drape the mesh over plants, hoops, or cages.
Secure the edges firmly using netting pegs, clips, or by burying the sides into the soil to create a complete seal. This prevents insects from entering underneath.

Compatibility:

Veggiemesh is compatible with most garden structures, including garden hoops, cold frames, and walk-in tunnels. It can be used over raised beds, ground-level beds, and individual plants.

Care:

Keep the mesh clean by brushing off loose debris.
Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
Inspect regularly for any tears or holes and repair them promptly to maintain effectiveness.
For fruiting plants reliant on pollinators, temporarily lift or remove the mesh during the flowering stage to allow for pollination.
