Veggiemesh Insect Netting is for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking a chemical-free method to protect vegetable crops from a wide range of insect pests. Its key benefit is providing a physical barrier that allows air, light, and rain to reach plants while excluding insects. A potential caveat is the need to temporarily lift netting for pollinating fruiting crops during their flowering period. This lightweight mesh is versatile, suitable for direct use over beds, or with hoops and cages, offering protection against pests, mild frosts, wind, and heavy rain.

Veggiemesh protects against many common garden pests including Cabbage root fly, Carrot fly, Cabbage white butterfly, Pea moth, Leek moth, Cutworm, Onion fly, and many types of aphids.
No, Veggiemesh is designed to be permeable. It allows air, light, and rain to pass through to the plants while still acting as a barrier to insects.
Yes, if you are growing fruiting plants that rely on pollinators like bees, you may need to temporarily lift or open the mesh during the flowering period to allow pollination.
You can secure the edges by using netting pegs or clips, or by burying the sides of the netting into the soil to create a seal.
For smaller pests like flea beetles, leaf miners, or whitefly, the standard Veggiemesh might not be sufficient. Veggiemesh Ultrafine, with its tighter weave, is recommended for these finer pests.
Yes, Veggiemesh can be laid directly over plants or used with garden hoops or garden cages for added structure and support.
This product is Veggiemesh Insect Netting, 4.2m wide by 20m long.
Ensure all edges are completely sealed by using more pegs, clips, or burying the edges deeper into the soil. Check for any gaps or tears in the mesh itself.
Verify that the netting is not creating a completely sealed environment. Ensure good air circulation is maintained and that the mesh is not overly taut, restricting airflow.
Use appropriate netting pegs or clips designed for garden use. If burying edges, ensure the soil is moist enough to hold the netting in place.
Check if the mesh is clogged with debris. Gently rinse with water. Ensure the netting is laid correctly and not preventing rain from reaching the soil surface.

Compatibility:
Veggiemesh is compatible with most garden settings, including raised beds, vegetable patches, and containers. It works well with garden hoops and cages for added support. For fruiting crops that rely on insect pollination (e.g., strawberries, some tomatoes, beans), you will need to temporarily lift or open the netting during the flowering period to allow bees and other pollinators access.
