The Gardlov 3 x 6 meter protective net offers a durable and completely chemical-free solution for safeguarding garden produce from insect pests and birds. Made from high-quality high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the material withstands variable weather conditions and mechanical wear well, allowing the net to be used for several seasons. It is a practical alternative to chemical plant protection, supporting organic farming principles in home gardening.
The net’s 80-mesh density (mesh size approximately 0,177 mm) forms a physical barrier, successfully blocking even very small pests, preventing leaf damage and crop loss. Despite its fine weave, the structure allows essential sunlight, air, and rainwater to pass through for plant growth. This product, with its universal dimensions, can be conveniently placed directly over vegetable beds, raised garden beds, or berry bushes, and can be easily cut to a smaller size with scissors if needed, without the edges fraying.
Usage and Cultivation Instructions:
-
Measure and cut the net according to the size of the garden bed, tunnel, or bush to be protected (always allow extra material so the net properly reaches the ground).
-
Spread the net directly over the plants or install it on special support hoops to provide sufficient growing space for crops and ensure maximum air circulation.
-
Secure the net’s edges tightly to the ground with fastening clips, stones, or soil mounds to prevent the cover from being blown away by wind and to stop pests from entering underneath the edges.
-
At the end of the season, remove the net, clean it of loose soil and debris, allow it to dry thoroughly, and store it.
Tips and recommendations:
-
Using support hoops under the net is especially recommended for delicate plants (e.g., lettuces, young cabbages, and radishes) to prevent mechanical abrasion of leaves against the net during strong winds.
-
For daily watering, there is no need to remove the net from the garden bed – directing the water stream through the net disperses water pressure, which protects young plants and prevents soil erosion around the roots.
-
For the winter period, store the net in a dry and shaded area. This prevents unnecessary UV radiation exposure to the material when the product is not needed in the garden, significantly extending its lifespan.
