FAQs

Which pests will this biodegradable netting keep out?

The 0.85mm ultra-fine mesh effectively blocks cabbage root fly, cabbage white butterfly, carrot fly, onion fly, pea moth, leek moth, flea beetles, leaf miners, aphids, whitefly, and cutworms.

How long will the biodegradable netting last outdoors?

It has a minimum outdoor lifespan of three years. Its longevity can be influenced by environmental conditions, but it is designed to cover multiple growing seasons.

Is this netting truly compostable?

Yes, made entirely from cornstarch, it is fully compostable. It breaks down naturally in a compost heap or soil into carbon dioxide and water without leaving harmful residues or microplastics.

How does this biodegradable netting compare to standard plastic netting?

It offers the same 0.85mm ultra-fine pest protection and comparable durability (3+ years outdoor lifespan). The key difference is its biodegradable and compostable nature, being made from cornstarch instead of plastic.

Can I reuse this netting between growing seasons?

Yes, the netting is designed to last for at least three years. You can reuse it by removing it, cleaning off any soil, and storing it dry in a shaded area between seasons.

What types of vegetables benefit most from this netting?

Vulnerable crops such as brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, kale), carrots, onions, leeks, peas, beans, and salad crops benefit significantly, especially during their early and most sensitive growth stages.

Will the netting block sunlight or rain?

No, the netting allows approximately 90% of sunlight and all natural rainfall to pass through, ensuring your plants receive necessary light and hydration while remaining protected from pests.

Troubleshooting

Netting appears to be degrading faster than expected.

Ensure the netting is not exposed to prolonged periods of extreme UV radiation or harsh chemicals. While durable for 3+ years, conditions can affect lifespan. Consider adding an extra layer of protection or replacing it sooner if environmental factors are severe.

Small pests are still finding their way under the netting.

Check that the edges of the netting are completely sealed to the ground. Use additional pegs, soil, or stones to ensure there are no gaps. Ensure the mesh is taut and not sagging, which can create entry points.

Netting is difficult to handle or tears easily during setup.

Handle the netting with care, especially in windy conditions. Use smooth garden pegs and avoid sharp objects near the material. Ensure you have adequate support structures in place before unfolding and draping the netting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Effective physical barrier against a wide range of pests

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This lightweight netting can be easily draped over garden hoops, arches, or vegetable cages. For direct application onto crops or beds, use garden pegs to secure the edges firmly into the ground. Alternatively, you can weigh down the edges with soil, sandbags, or stones to create a complete seal, preventing pests from burrowing underneath.

Compatibility:

The netting is designed to work with standard garden support systems like hoops and cages. It is suitable for use with a wide variety of vegetables, including brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, kale), carrots, onions, peas, beans, leeks, and salad crops.

Care:

To maximize its lifespan, it is recommended to remove the netting at the end of the growing season. Gently brush off any soil or debris. Store the netting dry in a cool, shaded place until the next planting season. Although designed to last at least three years, proper storage will help maintain its integrity. When it eventually degrades, it can be added to a compost bin or directly tilled into the soil.
