This net doesn't just keep insects out. Since covering our plots, sparrows and pigeons can no longer peck the hearts of the greens — bird damage is basically gone. In summer the net breaks up heavy rain before it hits the crops: no more shredded leaves, noticeably less rot, and faster recovery after storms. One net solves three problems: insects, birds and heavy rain. For densely planted leafy greens, 25–32 mesh is enough, balancing bird protection and ventilation.
