How to Protect Your Vegetables With Insect Netting

How do you get the crosses and tee's on the hoops without cutting the hoop? do you slide them on and then bend the hoop?

Sir can I stop mite this net

Amazon. 10*20' netting 16.00

Great video. Thanks

Thank you so much for this! It's exactly the kind of versatile solution I've been searching for my raised beds. We're using a pop-up screened canopy right now but I am not confident it can stand up to a windy day. The way you made/cut the video - straightforward with no dumb, time-wasting filler - was also much appreciated. Happy spring!

Does the rain drip through evenly or run off on the outside due to the tiny holes? I would love to make one of these.

The website for netting doesn't display good, doesn't show type of netting you used, also the prices I see over $200.

so cool.. 👍👍 nice video.. warmest regard from.indonesia

Would it help with rabbits and squirrels too? They're my biggest pests. I use chicken wire for the rabbits, but they tend to just dig under it, and squirrels will obviously just climb it. I dont mind them getting a little of the crop- I'm happy to share, but I've had them completely decimate the crops leaving me with nothing.

Does this require the irrigation to be inside the tunnel (drip/overhead)? Or does overhead irrigation from outside the tunnel work?

The tunnel is genius thank you , I was think in about the issue of pollination tubes of mason bees could be very happy in the tunneks

I used two cattle panels side by side with rebar pounded in to hold it in place with a few sturdy cable ties as insurance against slipping. Netting went over the panels and each end had a separate piece tucked underneath all held in place with stainless clamps. I put caps over the exposed ends of the wire to protect the fabric. One end was permanently fixed and the 'door' was on the other end. I removed three clips on one side to get in and out. It worked beautifully. I only grew cucumbers and summer squash but it was the first year with no cucumber beetle or squash vine borer damage or disease.

Wish I could find that large of insect netting in the US.

Do you have to pollinate yourself since you are restricting access

Can you make a video about what you can plant from seed in autumn/winter? In pots inside the house, or also outside if they can survive freezing temperature

Hi, new to your channel, excellent ideas which I’d like to model here in the uk. Could you put a link to the 1” poly pipe x and T’s please. Thanks again to your videos. Lots of catching binge watching to do lol

I appreciate the creative off label use of conduit and connectors.

I wish you'd shown you getting out of that small veg bed you got into ;)

Does it get too hot in there at any time during the summer?

I like this design, and that it uses somewhat easy to access parts. Do you have some idea of the cost per covered foot for these tunnels?

How do friendly pollinators get in to do their important job?

The link to the netting doesn’t work. Can you please fix it?

This is great thank you.

Fantastic idea! You have some great ideas!

Thanks… how do you bend the hoops?

Are you in Saskatoon Saskatchewan your area look familiar

Great hoop design! Def going to make one of these if I get too much insect pressure. Have you found the bungee cord disintegrates in the sun and spreads MPs onto your beds?

Nice, thanks for your efforts. You don't mention watering..... do you drip irrigate? I know this netting is supposed to allow rain water in to a degree (I think). What are your thoughts? I haven't evolved to drip irrigation just yet as we get plenty of rain most of the time. Really appreciate your videos!

If you don't mind me asking, where do you get that kind of knitting at?

there is one very big problem with this netting
A cat will tear it up I tried using it and my cats did just that tore it up
So kids u need to put these netting inside something that is cat proof or live in an HOA where no cats are allowed and it has to cover at least 1 sq mi to be effective keeping all cars out
So kids how did my GMa take care3 of bugs (she was born in 1883)?
She used crop rotation, hand picking and lye soap mixed in water to spray on the crops.
Her gardens where very bug free
My gardens r very bug free and I use only her 2 methods

Brilliant!
