Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Butterfly Netting is an essential garden accessory for home growers and allotment enthusiasts who need a reliable, chemical-free method to protect brassicas and vegetables from butterflies and caterpillars. By serving as a durable physical barrier, this fine-mesh netting ensures your crops remain pest-free while still allowing vital air, light, and water to reach the soil; however, users should ensure the netting is securely anchored to prevent opportunistic pests from crawling underneath.

FAQs

Can I cut this netting to a specific size?

Yes, the material is designed to be cut to size without fraying.

Is this netting safe for my vegetables?

Yes, it is a physical barrier that requires no chemicals, making it perfectly safe for edible crops.

Do I need to remove the net for watering?

No, the fine mesh is porous enough to allow rain and hose water to pass through to the soil.

How do I store the netting over winter?

Shake off dirt and debris, allow it to dry completely, fold it, and store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.

Will this protect my plants from birds?

While it is specifically designed to stop butterflies and insects, the fine mesh also provides a basic deterrent against larger birds.

Troubleshooting

Pests are still getting to the plants.

Ensure the netting is fully anchored at the ground level with no gaps for insects to crawl under.

The netting is too loose or drooping.

Use garden hoops or stakes to elevate the netting, creating a framework that keeps the mesh away from the plant leaves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-friendly and chemical-free pest management
  • Allows airflow and moisture penetration
  • Easy to cut and customize for any garden layout
  • Reusable and long-lasting material
  • Lightweight and simple to store when not in use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Pegdev Butterfly Netting, begin by measuring the area of your garden beds and cutting the material to size using garden shears. For low-growing crops, you can lay the netting directly over the plants, ensuring you provide extra slack if the plants are expected to grow significantly. Anchor the edges firmly using garden pegs or stones to seal the barrier. For maintenance, simply shake off any garden debris after the season, fold the netting neatly, and store it in a dry, cool place to maximize its lifespan for future years.
