Veggiemesh Insect Netting for Vegetables - 3.6m / 20m

Veggiemesh is a lightweight, fine-mesh netting designed to create a physical barrier against insects.

Yes, you can. However, if these plants rely on pollinators like bees for fruit production, you will need to temporarily lift or open the netting during their flowering period to allow pollination.

The netting features a fine mesh weave that is permeable, allowing these essential elements to pass through to the plants beneath while blocking insects.

It protects against pests such as Cabbage root fly, Carrot fly, Cabbage white butterfly, Pea moth, Leek moth, Cutworm, Onion fly, and many types of aphids.

For smaller pests like flea beetles, leaf miners, or whitefly, Veggiemesh Ultrafine, which has a tighter weave, is recommended for more targeted protection.

It is crucial to seal all edges of the netting thoroughly by using netting pegs, clips, or by burying the sides into the soil to prevent any entry points for insects.

Yes, in addition to pest protection, Veggiemesh helps shield crops from mild frosts, wind damage, and heavy rain, contributing to healthier plant growth.

Veggiemesh can remain in place from the time of planting through to harvest, providing continuous protection throughout the growing season.

Ensure all edges of the netting are completely sealed. Check for any gaps at the ground level or where the netting meets structures. Use additional pegs, clips, or bury the edges more deeply. Verify that the mesh size is appropriate for the specific pest (consider Veggiemesh Ultrafine for smaller pests).

Confirm that air, light, and rain are reaching the plants. Ensure the netting is not pulled too tightly and allows for air circulation. If the issue persists, consider if the mesh is too dense for the conditions or if there are other environmental factors at play.

Use a sufficient number of netting pegs or clips, spaced appropriately along the edges. Burying the edges firmly in the soil can also provide a more secure anchor. If using on uneven ground, consider adding extra securing points.

Inspect the netting regularly for tears or holes. Small tears can sometimes be mended with fine garden twine or tape, but significant damage may require replacement of the section or the entire netting.
