Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have purchased this item x2 now and will purchase again for next year's garden. I garden in a pesticide free P-Patch which translates to bad bug buffet. Last year I lost all of my potatoes to flea beetles. This year after planting I secured the netting around my potato box with simple bungee cord. I added bamboo sticks to raise the height as they and the netting did not rip. Also, built a 4 ft tall 'rough' enclosure with simple pvc pipe and again used this netting. I don't even have aphids in my tomatoes like my neighbors do. I did at first, most likely living in the soil and hatching, but once controlled no new ones were able to get in. Inside the netting I am growing bug free potato, Brussels Sprouts, Tomato & Collard greens. Just outside the netting I am battling leaf miner, aphids & cabbage butterfly larvae. We have a resident squirrel who insists on burying peanuts in my patch, but has not gone through the netting. I did watch a crow pull up a homemade wire stake I used. This stuff is more rugged then you think if you use common sense. I'm sure that I will have to trim the edges, but hope to use/reuse again. Huge Positive: You can water right through this netting. Only Negative: Edging is not finished - but does not fray at a rapid rate. SUGGESTIONS FOR GARDENERS: Have a plan - make a frame out of pvc, not wood to avoid tears. You can buy stakes or make your own - avoid bricks. Bugs will just crawl under. Stake one side of your enclosure securely, cover staking with dirt. Bugs will move on - too much work for them. Have one side with more infrequent stakes, but still cover edging with dirt. Mulch well so you can keep it enclosed as much as possible. To connect pieces I used those spring clips you use in the office.
