Looks like plastic, made from plants. 100% biodegradable insect net.

And just because it’s plastic-free doesn’t mean it’s low quality, either.

  • Protects against the smallest pests - very fine 0.85 mm mesh size, including aphids, leafminers, cabbage white butterfly and carrot root fly
  • Also protects against mild frosts, heavy rain and wind
  • Minimal disruption to light and air – extremely high 88% light penetration and high airflow
  • Won’t fray when cut – due to high-quality weaved manufacturing process
  • Compostable after use

Because Andermatt Home and Garden are fully committed to sustainability, we’ve made sure it comes in recyclable paper packaging, too.

Arrives as a single large piece of fabric 2.1 by 5.0 metres, can be easily cut to size.

Traditional plastic nets are made from petroleum. These take hundreds of years to degrade in landfill, are potentially harmful to wildlife once discarded, and leach toxins into the soil. Now gardeners can easily protect their plants without plastic using InsectoNet.

When is best to use?

Apply to plants after planting or sowing up until harvest.
Time of use depends on plant and pest.
Do not use during flowering period for plants which require pollination.

Nice soft netting

This arrived quickly and I've draped it over my cordon apple trees to protect the from deer browsing. It's soft and feels strong. I'm going to order some more to protect my brassicas from pigeons over the winter and caterpillars in the summer.

Thoughts on using InsectoNet

River Cottage has always looked for ways of reducing the environmental impact of food production through the messages we share with the public and teach to our guests, and in the practices we use on our organic farm in East Devon. One of the greatest problems for many veg growers, both large and small in scale, is a reliance on plastics for crop protection.

We have eliminated short-life plastics from our productive gardens, and so for some years now have not used netting for crops which are vulnerable to pests. When it comes to pest pressure on our brassica crops especially, we've therefore had to take the rough with the smooth.

But earlier this year I found Insectonet and have been able to try it with a clear conscience that it will last up to three years and biodegrade in just a handful more. The 2.1m widths are easy to handle, fit well over hoops and other structures for a variety of row widths, and have withstood the winds which whistle up the valley from the Jurrassic coast.

Keeping pigeons, butterflies and other pests at bay has contributed to record harvests of some of our most delicious vegetables in 2024, so I'm happy to recommend Insectonet as a plastic-free alternative to our guests, who so often come to me with stories of defeat in their own gardens and are tempted by environmentally damaging pesticides.

Thank you Andermatt, for being a part of veg-growing success in our (and hopefully many other) gardens!

Delighted

Last year I had major problems with carrot fly. This year I have put in raised beds and covered one with the netting, it has had an added bonus for me, the netting has helped immensely to protect all the vegetables in the bed from adverse weather, so they are growing well. Next year I will probably buy more netting for the other bed. Thank you, 5 stars from me.
