Cabbage White Green Butterfly Netting for Garden Fruit and Vegetable Crop Protection (3m x 6m)

Product Information

peas/beans: I cover with fleece once they are taller and before they flower, but typically the peas are being very slow this year. Not that there is any rush. Continue watering the young plants regularly, not letting the soil dry out, until they are growing strongly Brassica Massacre is a very apt expression. My cabbages are simply skeletons!!! My broad beans were coming along nicely but overnight several of them have been destroyed. Is this likely to be the caterpillars too. I haven't seen any telltale signs of slugs?"

Surprisingly considering the devastation wreaked on my nasturtiums I didn't find a single pupa over the winter, but spiders seemed to have a feast on the larvae last year and I've seen butterflies caught in their webs this year too. No you haven't Mr D. Ever since 1st July there have been an increasing number here in Sth Staffs. About 5 at a time. Cabbages are covered OK, but now they are laying eggs on my Sprouts. Have been tearing them off the leaves."Mesh is also sold in varying mesh sizes. The smaller the mesh the smaller the insect excluded but the greater the cost and also potential increase in temperature (finer meshed insect proof material may lead to a significant warming for the covered crops) and humidity beneath. On the other hand, finer meshes tend to be lighter and easier to use without supporting hoops.

Alternatively, any metal or wooden structure can be used as long as there are no sharp corners. For the simplest solution, use bamboo canes with flowerpots or burst tennis balls over the ends to stop the canes poking through the netting." Wildlife can be at risk from poorly erected and managed garden netting. Very fine mesh, such as insect-proof mesh or horticultural fleece, is one of the safer options, but it is essential to secure the edges of the mesh by burying under the soil or anchoring to a ground level board half sunken in the soil. Birds in particular can become entangled in loose netting which may result in their death or injury. Sustainability Yes I see them now, loads of them and they are inside my netting (my netting is bursting at the edges...note to self, bigger netting next year!), im using a shoot to kill policy all over the garden...im making room for red admirals and the like!"

Hi Robin. Keep any cabbage family plants covered with netting, and the butterflies should seek out the nasturtiums instead and not try too hard to get at your brassicas.

It will protect your fruit and vegetable crops by keeping out cabbage white butterflies and birds, making it an ideal bird net too, it will also protect ponds from debris and Herons. Peas – young shoots and pods prone to being eaten by birds. Tall 6 foot A frame with bird netting draped completely all around with no openings for birds to get trapped inside. The pea plants generally don’t reach 6 feet but this is so that the plant tends to stay inside the cage and not poke through and out. Any stems that do make it through I consider ok for the birds to take. The butterfly netting is made from strong HDPE and UV stabilised. With the feel of soft fabric to touch and durable enough to last for many years. Raised humidity levels and subsequent soft, lush growth produced when growing under insect proof mesh may encouragediseases such as Botrytis and downy mildew. Slugs and snails can be encouraged by the higher humidity beneath mesh. Restricting access to weeds

Standard mesh: 1.3-1.4mm. Good for insects such as cabbage root fly, onion fly, bean seed fly and carrot fly, as well as moth and butterfly pests. Birds and mammalscanalso be excluded.

Often referred to as brassicas or cole crops, examples include arugula, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, radish, rutabaga and turnip. Like many gardeners, I've been unfortunate enough to experience some brassica damage in the past. A few tattered swedes, a holey kale plant – tell-tale signs that Small Cabbage White butterflies had laid their eggs on my plants. I considered the damage annoying, but it never reached really troublesome proportions in my garden. To harvest, cut through the stem just above ground level with a sharp knife. With spring and summer cabbages, if you then score a 1cm (½in) deep cross in the stump, they should go on to produce a second, smaller cabbage. Once the crop is finished, dig out the stumps to deter the spread of brassica diseases.
