Title: Blue scaffold net
Post by: Beetroot queen on April 07, 2010, 07:14

I have quite a bit of blue net which is scaffold net so it comes with holes along the black seems, does everyone use it with the holes (this is not making much sense) the holes on the seem in mine are quite large, well large enough for a butterfly to get through so I have been hand sewing them.

Am I the only saddo hand sewing all this net  :unsure:

I never bothered with the sowing of the holes last year, we got away mostly pest free. Happy sowing.

i usually just close them up with those little wire fasteners that you get with sandwich/freezer bags

Two years gone by when I have failed on that particular News Years Resolution. Haven't seen a butterfly on my Brassicas though, so maybe they aren't that bright! And the fat pigeons certainly don't squeeze through!
