What Is It?

Cabbage white butterfly netting is a specialized garden netting designed to protect your plants from damage inflicted by the caterpillars of cabbage white butterflies.

Features of Butterfly Netting

This type of netting is:

  • UV-Stabilized: Resistant to degradation from sunlight.
  • Lightweight: Easy to handle and install.
  • Durable: Built to withstand various weather conditions.
  • User-Friendly: Simple to set up, whether draped over crops or used with garden hoops and vegetable cages.

How It Works

The netting features a small mesh size of 5mm x 7mm, effectively blocking cabbage white butterflies from accessing your plants and laying eggs. While it is suitable for a variety of vegetables, it is particularly effective for brassicas such as:

  • Cabbage
  • Kale
  • Cauliflower
  • Broccoli
  • Brussels sprouts

How to Use Butterfly Netting

To use butterfly netting effectively:

  1. Drape the Netting: Place it over your crops, ensuring there’s enough space for growth and that it doesn’t touch the leaves.
  2. Watering and Feeding: You can water and fertilize through the netting. However, if your crops require pollination, you may need to remove the netting temporarily.
  3. Securing the Netting: Use netting pegs, clips, or bricks to hold it in place.

Longevity of Butterfly Netting

With proper care, butterfly netting can last up to 8 years.

Can It Be Cut?

Yes, you can easily cut the netting with scissors to achieve your desired size and shape.
