The summary

What it is: a white net with a mesh of about 1 mm, in a single piece that you cut to size with scissors.
Which size: 3 x 6, 3 x 10, 4 x 5 or 3 x 15 m, covering 18 to 45 m².
How to fit it: over hoops, with the edges held down by pegs.
Which crops: vegetables, fruit and flowers, removing it during flowering for crops that need pollinating.

White insect netting on hoops against flying pests, from 18 to 45 m²

The fine-mesh insect netting in white polyethylene protects vegetables, fruit and flowers from caterpillars, cabbage root flies and birds, without any chemical treatment. Its mesh of around 1 mm keeps out the pests that standard mesh already holds at bay. It comes in 4 sizes, covering 18 to 45 m², and is laid over hoops.

This fine-mesh insect net goes over your crops and forms a physical barrier against flies, butterflies and birds. Vegetables, soft fruit and flowers stay protected without any treatment, and you can follow their growth through the white veil.

🦋 A mesh of around 1 mm

The mesh measures about 1 mm, or 0.04 inch, which places it between the standard mesh of 1.3 to 1.4 mm and the fine meshes of 0.8 mm. It therefore stops the pests that standard mesh already keeps out: root flies, which lay their eggs at the base of cabbage, carrot or onion plants, moths whose caterpillars devour the leaves, and birds. Light, air and rain pass through it, so you can water without lifting the netting. The netting arrives in a single piece, and you cut it with scissors to fit a bed, a board or a tunnel.

Root flies

The cabbage root fly, the carrot fly and the onion fly can no longer lay eggs at the base of covered plants.

Butterflies

Cabbage whites and the other garden butterflies can no longer reach the leaves, and their caterpillars do not appear.

Birds

Birds no longer peck at young plants, fresh seedlings or small ripe fruit.

Very small insects

Aphids, flea beetles, whiteflies and thrips need a mesh of 0.8 mm or finer to be stopped for certain.

The flowers to be pollinated remain accessible

A mesh that stops pests also stops bees. On courgettes or strawberry plants, whose flowers are pollinated by insects, remove the net during flowering or open it for a few hours each day.

Pegs to hold the edges flat

A gaping edge of netting lets insects in, and they then multiply under cover. The galvanised steel fixing pegs pin the edge to the ground along its whole length, their 35 mm crown gripping the mesh against the soil. You can also bury this edge under at least 5 cm of soil, and keep the pegs for the corners and joins.

📏 Four adjustable sizes

The netting is available in 3 x 6 m, 3 x 10 m, 4 x 5 m and 3 x 15 m, covering from 18 to 45 m². To choose, measure the distance around your hoops rather than the width of the bed, then add enough to anchor the edges to the ground on each side. A bed 1.2 m wide covered with semicircular hoops therefore needs about 1.9 m of netting for the arc, plus 2 margins of 20 cm, making 2.3 m: the 3 m width covers this bed with room to spare. For the length, allow the length of the bed plus twice the height of the hoops, to close off the ends: a 10 m bed under 60 cm hoops calls for the 3 x 15 m size.

🐟 On the tanks of an outdoor system

In an aquaponic system, an insecticide sprayed on the plants ends up in the fish water and endangers the colony of bacteria that filters the system. When dealing with pests, you should therefore favour methods that use no products, such as physical barriers and beneficial insects. Stretched over the grow beds of an outdoor installation, the netting stops flying pests from reaching the leaves without adding anything to the water. The guide to limiting pests in aquaponics presents the other measures, and the netting combines easily with them.

🔧 Fitting and training the net

Fit the net loosely rather than taut, because a mesh stretched over hoops widens and loses part of its effectiveness, and because the plants need room to grow. Keep it away from the foliage too: an insect resting on a mesh that touches a leaf can lay eggs through it. On a low, dense crop, the net can rest directly on the plants, provided you leave it enough slack so that it does not crush them. Put it in place straight after sowing or planting, before the first pests start flying, and leave it on throughout the season on crops that do not flower.

Each time you lift the net to weed or harvest, insects can get in and multiply under cover: so group these tasks together and close up again straight away. Air circulates less under a net than in the open, and the resulting humidity encourages grey mould, downy mildew and slugs; a slug trap placed under the cover deals with the latter without any chemicals. Finally, rotate the position of your cabbages, carrots and onions from one year to the next, because flies whose pupae have overwintered in the soil emerge under the net if the same crop returns there.

The parcel contains a single piece of white netting, in the size you have chosen. A large size is easily shared between several tanks or several beds, since each cut piece keeps the same mesh and is fixed in the same way. The other pesticide-free protections can be found in the integrated biological pest control collection, along with the slug trap and the netting.

Does the netting keep out bees?

Do the plants get enough light under the netting?

Can it be used above an aquaponic system?

Why are there insects under the netting?

Three causes come up repeatedly, and each has its remedy:

An open gap: a lifted edge, or the net opened for weeding, lets in insects that then multiply under cover.
A cover touching the leaves: the insect lays its eggs through the mesh, which is why hoops are worthwhile.
Last year's soil: flies whose pupae overwintered on the spot emerge under the net if the same crop returns there, hence crop rotation.
