I use insect netting in so many ways! View in my shop. Why I ❤️ it: it allows more light in and more heat to escape than lightweight row cover. Plus it’s more durable and because it is stretchy— so easy to work with. This time of year it helps so much! How I use it: 🪲Stop insects from getting to plants ☀️As a suncap for transplants planted on hot days 🐇 Protect new transplants from rabbits and squirrels 🌱 Direct sown beds from varmint rummaging See the installation videos on the product page.

Take that, squash bugs!! My fool-proof *very organic* way for controlling squash bugs… and it’s actually kinda fun too. 😬 ————————— #organicgarden #homesteading #potatobugs #coloradopotatobeetle #homegrown #gardening #squashbugs #squashbugssuck | Whole-Fed Homestead
