It's what I'm planning on using armthorpe - I researched it last year before I bought it, and it seemed to be recommended by Those Who Know These Things.sigpicGardening in France rocks! -
The debris netting I have has larger holes than enviromesh so personally I wouldn't risk it. I'm determined to beat the bl**dy fly this year.Comment

The fly is 8mm long, so not tiny. My debris netting (holes sewn up) does keep them out, if I manage to keep it all pegged down, but on a very windy site that's not really possibleAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
