This Soft Butterfly Netting from Gardening Naturally is designed for UK home gardeners and allotment holders to protect leafy vegetables from cabbage white butterflies and birds. Its key benefit is preventing pest damage while allowing essential light, air, and rain to reach your crops. A caveat to consider is that the fine mesh will also block bees, requiring temporary removal for pollinating plants during flowering.

Yes, it can be trimmed with scissors and shaped to fit raised beds, tunnels, frames, or vegetable cages without fraying.
You can hold it in place with netting pegs or clips, or by tucking the edges under soil to prevent butterflies entering underneath.
It can be used over soft fruit where bee pollination is not required at that stage, but should be removed once flowers open to allow for pollination.
Yes, rain passes through easily so the soil and plant roots remain hydrated throughout the season.
With proper care and storage, this UV-stabilised netting is designed to last approximately 7 years.
Yes, the mesh helps reduce interest from birds such as pigeons by preventing them from pecking at leaf surfaces.
The mesh size is 5mm x 7mm, which is fine enough to stop most butterflies and larger insects but still allows air and water to pass through.
Ensure edges are securely tucked under soil or weighed down with stones. Use additional netting pegs or clips for a tighter fit, especially in windy conditions.
Inspect for sharp edges on frames or cages that may be snagging the material. Ensure no rodents are chewing through it. Repair minor tears with strong, UV-resistant tape if necessary.
Verify that the netting is not too dense or is restricting airflow. Ensure adequate watering, as the mesh allows water through but evaporation may still occur. Check if temporary removal during peak sun hours is beneficial.
Check for any gaps around the base or sides. Ensure the netting is buried slightly into the soil or weighted down effectively all around the perimeter.
