I've just bought some green netting and it blends in well with the surroundings.  I would imagine the colour doesn't make that much difference.  Perhaps black may be a little darker though?

I used some today and watched the tiny white fly go straight through the mesh :(, hopefully that is all that gets through.

The best colour is the stuff given to you by scaffolders
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I'd have thought so, I use it and have even had a cabbage white trying to get out (but hadn't layed any eggs surprisingly). I was told to use Duct tape over the eyelets to stop this but I'm lazy at times. Otherwise, my brassicas have been great using Debris netting.

ps. my netting is green.

Hubbys pub is having the roof done and the scaffolding has just gone up... looking forward to 'disposing' the debris netting for them when they've done!!!  :lol:

Is it true it can only be used once under H&S laws?

PS... (I already have 4 scaffold boards in the beers cellar which I'm sure I can put to good use!  ;))
Snappy 

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

you just found what is not so good about debris netting, its great for the flying rats and cabbage whites. However it also keeps out the ladybirds and hoverflies which feed on aphids. :(
