Garden netting boasts a variety of uses and can come in handy in many areas of your garden and yard. Seasoned gardeners have found creative and even innovative ways to implement garden nets into their yards, and have found that it has enhanced their overall gardening experience.
If you are an animal lover who welcomes wildlife and birds into your yard but doesn’t like sharing the spoils of your garden, garden netting will help your protect your fruits and vegetables against hungry animals looking for a free meal. Garden netting can help deter birds, rabbits, deer, and many different insects, to name a few.
If your problem is lack of space but a desire to grow a garden, netting can help you to grow many different plants vertically using trellis netting. Many plants are strong enough to grow vertically if given the chance – beans, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash; even melon can be grown on trellis netting. As long as your support frame is strong enough to withhold these plants, they will thrive on a trellis system and add much more usable space to your garden.
If your problem is hot and long summers that wreak havoc on many of your crops, vegetable garden netting can provide shade that will not only extend the growing season of these plants but also protect against damaging winds. Many climates boast heat that may produce wonderful tomatoes and peppers but are terrible for cooler-weather vegetables like cabbage and broccoli. Fall gardens can be a great way to still grow these vegetables in hot climates, but often late summer is still too intense. Adding some shade netting to your yard or garden area can help you to get a head start on your fall garden so you can enjoy fresh lettuce and cauliflower in the cooler months.
Garden netting is so versatile that its uses around the yard and garden are limited solely by your imagination. It comes in a variety of strand weights and sizes, and can be found locally at hardware stores and nurseries.
