Allotment netting / protecting plants

[Mirinjawbro]

Hello all

This year we have decided we want to cover the fruit / veg with netting ( or similar)

Anyone have any recommendations please ?

Last year ther were alot of weeds and eaten salad as we did not cover

Thankyou

The two standard methods are canes with upturned plant pots to form a frame for the netting or use plastic water pipe and form arches over the beds to form the frame. much easier if you have a wooden raised bed and can pin the netting taught over the frame to keep out pigeons

We actually have a mini polytunnel frame that we use to hold the net over our raised bed.
Its been up about 5 years and is like new

Mini Polytunnel 4ft (1.22m) Wide | First Tunnels https://share.google/dmAPr1xUrEAR9fYcu

You can buy all the fittings seperatly on that site to suit your setup too.
