Fleeces / Netting
« on: January 23, 2008, 20:38 »
Chaps,

I'm looing to buy some fleecing and or netting for protection but wonder what I should get.

There are several types on Ebay with ASG / GSM rating etc. What should I be going for?

Ta,

Also, what you want it for. Fleece is better for cold protection and against tiny insects(flee beetle, carrot fly, etc).

Against butterfly, bird damage, etc. a wider mesh is OK, this is also necessary if crop needs pollinating, like fruit.

The thin flexible green mesh sold in Wilkos that says it protects against birds and BUTTERFLIES - lies, all lies!  3 years ago my brocolli got demolished by caterpillars because the cabbage white still managed to get through it! :shock:
