Hi all,
I've bought some enviromesh and my OH has made me some hoops for my raised beds from water pipe, as recommended in the forum. My question is, as you have to remove it for a time to weed the beds, is it still effective, or do you end up letting the little blighters in and then tucking them up for a good feed, when you replace the netting after weeding?
I've got 5 beds with only 1 netted at the mo and I'm not sure if its worth the time and effort to cobble up enough to cover them all. (As the beds are different sizes, we need to cobble a solution for each one, as we rotate the crops each season). What do you guys think? Is it worth doing, or would you take your chances? The bed that is currently netted was devastated 2 seasons ago, which is why we started with that one.
Lastly, how do you secure your netting? I've used the odd bricks and boulders, but don't have enough to do all the beds, so thought we would review that at this stage too.
