Default Insect Control Netting

The message

Has anyone had any experience with insect control material called ....
Agrilan Enviromesh or NA. Kayes Viromesh ? ( I assume they're two
different products).


Never having seen the products, I'm curious about their texture.
Ideally I would hope it to be soft and flaccid enough to drape it over
brassicas and fruit bushes etc rather like a fleece say, but I wonder if
it might be a bit too stiff for this and perhaps better suited to a cage
frame to keep it clear of the plants. I think they are also used for
polytunnel covers.


Enviromesh is like a rather coarse net curtain, it's not a soft as
fleece, but it's flexible enough to drape over something and just hold
in place with boards or bricks for temporary protection.

I'm fairly sure that I bought some of Kays' own brand and found it
somewhat stiffer and therefore a bit more difficult to manage than the
normal stuff.
