Net covering

[witch-1]

I have now purchased plastic cloches (small ones), fleece (for next season) and am now looking at net!

Would I be better off getting garden net (which is quite holey!) Or net - like curtains? To protect my next seasons plants?

Or is it necessary to protect as much? I do prefer to see my plants in the green so to speak!

Hiya. I've got lots of different sized hole netting but Ive also got some net curtains from the charity shop as well! I'm no expert on what to use for what, but I would use netting with small holes over brassicas to keep the cabbage white butterfly out. Hope this helps! Looking forward to reading other grapes ideas.

Thanks - it was more for bugs rather than birds - so its the fine mesh I'm after... will look at charity shops too

What pretty covers we could have!
