      Butterflies can get through and lay eggs through surprisingly small holes and if the net is resting on the plant they can squeeze the egg through without having to get themselves through. It's quite amazing really

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

        I'll remember, thanks guys! I was thinking of faffing around with canes to try and work something out XD I'll definitely set up some sort of frame.

          The 1kea nets are very fine & are definitely worth looking at at least.

              Canes with some sort of ball on the top, or perhaps a small (upturned) plastic bottle, to support the net, is probably a goer
