How to Install Hortonova Netting at Your Garden

[@kierstentaub6805]

*Very* helpful. Thank you for walking through the different steps, and why (esp for dahlias!)

[@christinaannabel]

Thank you for making a video and sharing your information. One thought: Personally, I don't use zip ties because they are single-use plastic objects that are bad for the environment. Instead, I use green rubber coated wire cut to appropriate lengths for several types of garden projects, including attaching grid fencing material to t-posts. Rubber coated wire is fabulous, useful material that blends in nicely with greenery!

I've learned after the first year with my flower farm that I can't live without the netting! Even makes the snap dragons grow straight, or else I could never sell them. This year I replenished some of my ratty netting with green. I think it will blend in with the flower better and be nicer for pictures.

Netting is wonderful. Can’t live without it.

[@cindythompsonthecottagegarden]

Thanks! I need to get me some of that!

[@1818Farms]

It is so helpful!

[@joebaucom4537]

Great !

[@porterhw]

Thank you so much for this information! Do you need two people working together to set the fiberglass rods, or do you think one person could go down the row and come back up the other side?

[@1818Farms]

You are so welcome! I hope it is helpful. It’s better it you have two people. This way you can pull and tighten at the same time.

Great video! Was searching for the fiberglass pole on Amazon but there were so many different kind/lengths. How tall are the poles and by any chance you can provide a link like ones you used? Many thanks!

This is great info all my zinnias blew over this year with all the storms we’ve had so this will be good for next year. 2 questions do you do dahlias this way? How high do you typically start the netting?

[@1818Farms]

This netting is a lifesaver! I net the dahlias about 3 feet up. My varieties tend to get tall. Another method is to double net. One net about 2 feet high followed by a second net around 4 feet. We do this for top heavy things like tall marigolds.

We need a Zinnia update! :)

[@davidakerlund6296]

its my first year using the hortnova so its nice to see i was on the right track but missing a few key points

[@1818Farms]

Hope everything is going well!

[@jt6259]

The Hortnova netting comes in different sizing. I'm just wondering which sized square netting you used? I didn't hear you mention that in the video. Thank you 🙏

[@1818Farms]

My netting is 4 feet wide.

[@JeffersonMyers-y2j]

Do you have any pictures of how well the netting holds gladiolus up after their grown?

[@1818Farms]

I don’t grow glads. It does a great job With top heavy Lisianthus.

[@JeffersonMyers-y2j]

Can you share pictures of how well the netting holds Lisianthus up after they are grown? I'm trying to see how well this works.@@1818Farms

Cheer~~~~open-meshed material made by knotting together twine, wire, rope, or thread.😊

[@cindythompsonthecottagegarden]

What direction do you have your rows running...north to south or east to west?

[@andreaarrigo4428]

Can you share where you got your overalls and tool belt?

[@1818Farms]

Duluth Trading for the overalls. Toolbelt is Wheeler Monroe. I think she is on Etsy. I have had the belt for years.

[@andreaarrigo4428]

@@1818Farms thank you!! Love them both 🙂

[@cynthiahurry-asoulsearcher729]

Why double on the lizzies? Do you use a standard square size for everything or do you size per variety?

[@1818Farms]

If you don’t double the Lisianthus they will fall over from their weight. I also double giant marigolds.

[@BirdsandPollinatorsHaven]

How high are the plants when you apply the netting?

[@1818Farms]

The shorter the better. Less chance of breaking.

Hi. Great videos. Thank you. One question....How do you burn your the holes in your ground cover?

[@1818Farms]
