Netting and PVC coated mesh

Options
Because they are plastic, may they contain BPA?

Am I overthinking when choosing some to protect my fruit crops?

    It's been in use in gardens for years so probably not a problem.
    If you really want look out for the string netting that used to be used in my Grandfathers time. It's actually easier to store and use. I've seen some in junk shops/garden stalls/charity shops and such.
    Having a quick search it's on the net still!
    Start a trend :)

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Ooh! Thank you.

    Mum has just given me a ton of her string netting. Good quality too!

    Now you've given me ideas.
    It would be a lot more gentle on birds that may fly into it.
    Lasts for decades - obviously  :)
