Fruit Cage Help
« on: June 01, 2009, 15:53 »
I am busy building a fruit cage which is about 8foot by 15foot, I was wondering if it would be ok to cover it with debris netting which I have or should I use another type of netting? Will just be growing starwberries, tomatos and stuff like that.

I'd only use debris netting in part of your cage if you have to use it at all, as pollinating insects need to be able to get through the mesh to pollinate your plants.

Also I would think dense debris netting would slow down the ripening of strawberries & tomatoes.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
