It's quite cheap to buy. Comes in lengths up to 96inches and as wide as you like in fabric/curtain shops.
I haven't used it yet but have some saved in case. After watching cabbage whites squeeze through netting, work their way under this year maybe the one.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

Yes, I have successfully used an old white net curtain. Pity it was so small it only covered half the crop of cabbages and the difference was noticeable.2

Get it from eBay and attach it with bulldog clips.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

I got some net cutains from freecycle. Two were very large, must have been from patio doors. Unfortunately the new local foxes decided it was just the place to leave a solid mess on top.

I use net curtain on soft fruit - less likely to entangle birds etc than coarser mesh.
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Some finer mesh will keep butterflies and larger insects out, but it needs to be really fine for flea beetles and carrot flies etc.

Thank you all for your comments. I'll buy/find some cheap/free curtains. Haven't managed to find anywhere that sells it by the roll.If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.0
