Benefits of Veggiemesh Ultra-Fine Insect Mesh
Veggiemesh ultra-fine insect mesh provides improved protection compared to standard Veggiemesh, thanks to its smaller 0.8 x 0.8mm holes. This finer mesh helps guard against flea beetles and is ideal for use on greenhouse vents and doors, preventing insects from entering while maintaining proper airflow.
Material and Longevity
Made from UV-stabilised polyethylene, Veggiemesh ultra-fine features a tightly woven design that ensures it lasts for many seasons.
How to Use
Cover crops immediately after sowing or transplanting, allowing enough slack for the plants to grow. While the mesh helps to protect against flea beetle damage, it cannot prevent beetles from emerging if they are already present under the netting. Avoid planting susceptible crops in areas where infected plants have been grown within the past six months, and ensure any old plant debris is removed or destroyed.
The ultra-fine mesh can be laid directly over plants or used with hoops or frames for extra support. Secure it by burying the edges, weighting it down with sandbags, or fastening it with pegs or clips.
