Description

Enviromesh is a woven mesh that protects outdoor vegetable crops from a wide range of pests by providing an effective physical barrier. It also provides some protection from bad weather such as strong winds and frosts.

Mesh Size: 1.3mm

Enviromesh protects against:

Insects:

  • Cabbage root fly
  • Carrot fly
  • Pea moth
  • Cabbage white butterfly
  • Leaf miners
  • Many species of aphids, but not all
  • Flea beetle is discouraged but not controlled completely.

  • Domestic pets
  • Snails
  • Deers

Bad weather:

  • High winds
  • Heavy rain

The net is laid flat over the bed with plenty of slack to allow the crop to grow. It must be pegged down securely as any gaps will allow the pests in.

Note: Enviromesh also keeps the pollinating insects out, so any crop that needs insects for pollination should be uncovered when they reach the flowering stage.
