Fleece v Mesh

[Kimbo]

Is it ok to use a very thin fleece over my canopy frame on my raised beds (covering brassicas) instead of shelling out for enviromesh? to keep out the insects etc

I'm using old net curtain, its doing a great job keeping out the white fly

We use a lot of fleece and have been really pleased with the results over the years.
It's good for frost/moisture retention and keeping off bugs.
You just need to make sure you remove it from time to time to allow insects to pollinate certain plants (eg strawberries)!

I would have thought that fleece would be better than mesh, specially since I've been plagued with whitefly this year and the little b*****s are so small they'll get through anything except fleece.
