Installing a gardening net involves securing it over the plants or crops you want to protect. This can be done by using hoops, stakes, or a frame to support the netting above the plants. The net should be taut but allow for some slack to accommodate plant growth. Secure the edges of the netting to the ground using soil staples, rocks, or burying the edges. Access points can be created for maintenance tasks. When using a garden net, regularly check for tears or gaps and repair them promptly. Remove the netting when it’s no longer needed to allow pollinators access.
