What Veg Requires Netting

Not sure what's in your square foot garden but brassicas (kale, cabbage, etc) are usually #1 targets for birds, any fruits will usually suffer as well, same with peas, sometimes beans. Carrot fly needs a fine net and should be on until you take out the crop.

Somebody also posted recently that they used toy windmills,which I thought was a great idea, it does depend though on what you have...and these wont stop butterflies.

Could you raise the netting?

Well here is what i have in the sq ft garden



Not sure if its worth just building some tall netting box for set things but i also have some spare netting but it wont keep the flies off as it has large holes.

Any ideas what is best to do

I'm sure it's a balance between aesthetics and harvest!

Last year I enviromeshed and brassica caged and fleeced and pampered but didn't like living on a 'space station'.

This year I'm much more laid back and accept that it's a war of attrition that I can't win.

More beauty for the eye to behold, but reduced crops. Still have plenty for my needs though.

Maybe I'm lucky.

Having said that I'd probably net the brassicas.
