Absolutely. The netting is lightweight and flexible and can be easily cut to fit any area without fraying.
After cleaning and ensuring it is dry, fold the netting neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to preserve its quality for the next season.
Ensure the edges are thoroughly secured to the ground using ample garden pegs, heavy stones, or by burying the edges slightly in the soil. Consider using a frame for better stability.
Double-check for any gaps or breaches in the netting that might allow entry. Ensure the mesh is fine enough for the specific pest; this netting is primarily for larger insects like butterflies.
The netting allows water and air through, but monitor your plants. Adjust watering frequency based on plant needs and environmental conditions. Ensure the netting is not trapping excessive moisture around the base of plants.
Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for a clean cut. The material is designed not to fray, so even a slightly uneven cut should not cause problems.
