Grower's Edge 5 ft x 30 ft Soft Mesh Trellis Netting with 3.5 in Squares

Long Runs of Trellis Netting With 3.5 in Squares

Grower's Edge weaves this sheet from soft white nylon into a tight grid of 3.5 in squares. It measures 5 ft x 30 ft, giving you 150 square feet of close-spaced support. Across the width that is about seventeen squares, and more than a hundred down the length. The small openings give every stem plenty of strands to rest on. Fine branches that would slip through a wider grid stay caught and stay put. That suits gardens trained to many small tops, from multi-headed plants to dense sea-of-green layouts. The strands are soft and non-abrasive, so leaves and green stems are not scuffed where they touch. Nylon keeps its strength as the canopy fills in and the net carries more weight. The 30 ft length runs the full span of a long bench or rolling table in one piece. It can also be cut into panels to set the same grid over several tents at once. Stood upright, it gives peas, beans and other light climbers a ladder with rungs every few inches. The sheet folds into a compact pack that stores easily on a shelf.

Building a Long Scrog Netting Screen

Set a post or frame member at each end of the bench and tie the net corners to them. Add a support every few feet along the sides so the long span does not sag. Pull the sheet tight before plants grow into it. A slack screen lets tops sink and the canopy goes uneven. Install the first layer close above the tops while plants are still in veg. Tuck new shoots under the strands every day or two and spread them toward open squares. Clear lower growth before the screen goes on, since reaching through a tight grid takes longer. Set a second layer higher up to carry swelling flowers late in the run. For a vertical trellis, hang the net from a top rail and stake the bottom edge into the bed. At harvest, snip stems free one at a time rather than pulling them back through the mesh. Cut the net away in strips where growth has woven in too tightly to lift out.
