Netting for Purple Tree Collard

9 years ago

I have a set of beautiful purple tree collards that do well here in El Cerrito. However, it's been sporting a lot of holes from some bug I've never seen. I need to find a good netting to cover the plants. Can you recommend any good ones? The few I looked at have openings that I think aren't small enough to keep the pests out. Please recommend a brand that has worked well for you. Thank you!

I dont have a solution. Just here to say I have both the purple and the regular and I have the same problem. Ive never seen the culprit. Im guessing it must be a night insect like a moth.

Im trying to keep it organic with my veggies and so far the organic treatments ive used havent worked.

Ill be following this thread.
