Is white netting any good? or is it just blue?Comment

I think there were some links posted further back on the thread about beneits of different coloured netting.Originally posted by maverick451 View Post
Its just a bit of daftness really, but I reckon blue netting for leafy plants (brassicas) and red netting for flowering plants. From memory white and cream netting was good also. I personally have used old net curtains or voile to cover carrots with good effect.

I'm not sure but would white net act as a reflector where as black acts as an absorbent of heat/light.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

I agree big fella. So we have blue for leafy growth, red for fruit and flowers, white to keep cool and black to warm up!Originally posted by Bigmallly View Post
All theoretical I agree, so why is the majority of debri netting used on allotments GREEN!

Most likely green was all that was available when growers decided to use it..............how long have growers used debris netting out of interest?Originally posted by Snadger View PostAll theoretical I agree, so why is the majority of debri netting used on allotments GREEN!sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

My Dad worked in a railway wagon engineering works - he was a shunter too, Snadger! The wagons were painted grey.Originally posted by Snadger View PostTangetising again, but thats why Grey Fergie tractors were grey. The war dept had a heck of a lot of battleship grey paint left after WW11 finished!
My parents gave my wooden bedroom furniture a makeover to freshen it up - they painted it grey
I think they painted the knobs pink
These makeover programmes have no idea how to brighten up a room
