Gardening fleece - good pest control during summer ?

worded · 2017-04-09 19:28:05

It's great stuff for sewing seeds in situ in march But I'm wondering can I cover broccoli until harvest to avoid pest like butterflies Also considering covering carrots to avoid carrot fly Will enough light get through ? The down side is the fleece is very thin and can rip but I've seen a good deal for 100 meters x 2 metre…

The down side is the fleece is very thin and can rip but I've seen a good deal for 100 meters x 2 metre wide for 30 euros approx
