I love this as a solution. And tulle is fairly inexpensive (at least until all the gardeners put a run on the fabric market and jack prices up LOL). Curious what pests this doesn’t work on? Aphids, thrips, mites? Are these small enough to get through the netting?

[@NextLevelGardening]

Yea the teally small ones. Not that they would get through a fine Tull but might find their way through folds. It would be a deterrent though I'm sure.

[@firehorsewoman414]

@@NextLevelGardening even better then. Someone posted on a cut flower channel that they were having so much trouble with grasshopper types that they created a 4-foot wide chicken run around the perimeter of their garden and it worked pretty well - less pest pressure and fresh eggs. Win-win. Loved that idea but chickens can be damaging to garden plants if you let them in the garden, but ducks are not it would seem (exception is young tender seedlings) and they are bug-eating machines. I am going to give it a go and see how all of these work. Edit: @Micahlouise9539 posted below that ducks are in fact destructive, so back to the drawing board on that solution. Wanted to edit this in case someone read my comment but didn’t see the follow up post.

@@firehorsewoman414 I have four ducks, they are brutal on the garden, they love kale and will reduce it to a stub. They tear it as a group instead of pecking like chickens. I planted dahlias where they could get them and they ate them all. They will eat my roses if in reach. And lettuce of any size is consumed instantly. Yes they are great at eating bugs, but my main garden is off limits to them. I throw them the veggies I will let them eat. And now I need to move the dahlias.

I use dark green tulle. because it blends in even better than black. I plant my lettuces in a window box that isn't attached to anything. I can pick it up easily and move it when necessary, although most of the time I have it set on something about four feet high. . The tulle keeps out everything, - birds, bugs, slugs, etc. and I can pick lettuce leaves easily. Last year I had some other greens in with the lettuces. baby pak choy and mizuna.

I had wonderful Italian kale, for about a day or two until the cabbage worms showed up to party -Neem oil didn't work, probably because it rained about every other day. I am plant other things with it to de-incentivize them and am going to try the tulle next season, but there was also another best, like a black tiny black lentils that collected at each of the branches-- dunno what it is yet or if the tulle would prevent those guys?

So question: do you need to use garden stakes when draping it over raised beds or around plants where animals can get up under the tulle? I’ve had to do that with my bird netting and it’s such a pain to harvest ie my strawberries containers. I can’t figure a better way and the bunnies and deer still broke the fiberglass supports trying to get in. Looking for an easier solution to both protection and ease of harvesting.

I have used Tulle for years. My squirrels bite right through it and eat my Tomatoes, and of course, dig. About 3 years ago, I found using regular window screening to work the best for me I had a lot let over from a project, and tried it as a last ditch effort to keep them away. It is what I found works best for me. All I have to do, is lay it around whatever plants I want to repel the little Munchkins. For some reason, they won't go near the screening.

[@yeevita]

If the creatures are desperate enough, they can get through tulle. I always leave some stuff without protection, as an attractant, just in case. At my previous house, the squirrels would always try to eat every persimmon in these giant trees I had. No way I could cover those with anything, even though I did initially try to do that on some lower branches. Eventually, I worked out a method that worked very well: The squirrels would run along this block wall to get into the trees, so I put ripe fruit that had fallen off the trees along the wall, especially along the wall before the squirrels reached the trees. It worked super well. There was usually so much fruit along the wall, the squirrels would just sit there and eat and never made it to the trees.

[@kathrynepaul]

@@yeevita I have two of my apple trees espaliered so they are in a fairly flat plane. I think next year I will try this actually on the trees. I fear putting it on the ground will do not good. what do you think? Kathryn

[@yeevita]

@@kathrynepaul It never hurts to try. For espaliered, I might go more with covering part of the tree, like maybe the lower branches if they are jumping from adjacent trees, or along wall if they are running along the ground. It does not hurt to try and observe. Good luck.

Thank you Brian!! WHITE FLIES and APHIDS are replacing squirrels as my mortal enemies. I don't think tulle would work, but I will try it!! I was resolved to being super aggressive with natural pesticides at the beginning of the spring/summer season.

[@yeevita]

Use water sprays for white flies and aphids. Also for white flies, tap the plants periodically to make the flies fly. They seem to not like that. White flies like a non-windy protected location, so blowing on them or otherwise disturbing them gets them to move. I also find that for aphids, I keep sacrificial plants. They seem to really infest one or two plants and leave the rest alone. I keep the sacrificial plants as predator bug nurseries, and keep any spread under control, mostly with a periodic water spray. Mostly they stay on the sacrificial plants, and then the predators take care of them. I notice an infestation of aphids, then at some point, they all disappear. I assume weather conditions or the predators ate them all. Using the sacrificial plant or two, I have much fewer aphids all around the garden the last few years. Sometimes, if I see a severely infested leaf on the sacrificial plant/s and do not see predator insect larvae on them, I will clip the leaf to give to my pond fish as a treat.

[@lindacgrace2973]

Deer! Lovely doe-eyed creatures. Deer are delicate, elegant of movement - and utterly voracious. They are PARTICULALRY fond of expensive peonies and roses. They turn their elegant noses up at cheap filler plants that I don't mind losing, they go for the $72 rare tree peony! Every time I find a munched plant, dreams of venison dance through my mind. The secret for me was to confuse the enemy. Deer can easily leap over an 8' (and with a really hungry deer, even a 10' fence). BUT they won't do it if they can't see a place to land. Therefore, I put up a 6' fence and cluttered up all the landing areas with plant teepees, topiaries, garden green stalks, dwarf fruit trees elevated in pots, vines growing up cattle fences - you name it, I've tried it. Arches and arbors and pergolas abound around the perimeter of my property. I named my chicken coop Fort Hennington. It looks like a high-security prison because (according to the helpful brochure from the local USDA Extension office) there are over 30 deadly predators in the Arizona mountains that would love to eat my chickens or their eggs (snakes) or their food (every bird and rodent known to the Southwest desert). So, I'm hunkered down, as prepared as I can get - wish me luck!

I buy toulle by the bolt when it goes on sale. It usually costs between $1.00 and $1.50 per yard when it's on sale. Also, it's available in various widths up to 108" wide. Too often, I would have seeds germinate only to have every tiny leaf eaten by bugs. Now I am able to give them a chance to grow and get strong. Toulle keeps leaf-footed bugs off my tomatoes.
