Hey Curtis,
What do you use for flea beetles other than the netting? Do you use an organic spray of some sort? Thanks for all your efforts brother. All the best to you and yours, Ralph
Could a fine shadecloth double as an insect net?
Love all your videos Curtis! I just bought your book to help support what you are doing. You are awesome and I hope you can keep up the great work!
Love your videos. My husband & I watch them together. I'm reading your book right now. Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming. 🙂
Would spring onions/ scallions be a viable crop for high rotation as they grow quickly and can have quite high density per bed? Would you or have you considered them? Thanks for another great video keep up the good work
I am inspired by your work and talk about you often, got the book, and happy to make a donation. Thank you so much!
nice to know…i have seen damage on the hakurei and radish, but usually it is such a highly demanded crop that no one seemed to mind (i do though). I am going to try using tulle, which is like 15 bucks per 40 yds. i know it works for cabbage worm on kale and other leafy brassicas.
Hi Curtis, I bought veggie mesh which allows 95% sun through this year believe this is the same as yours here, it didn't stop the flea battle unfortunately but hope it will keep all other brassicas insects away.
Hi Curtis, The link you posted for insect netting is actually a link for the "row bags with handle" – That website sells a some different insect netting, can you link the specific one you like please?
Not to nitpic on your video but every now and then your audio gets off track from your video. Seen it in just a couple vids. Love your vids btw. Been working my way through all of them.
can you do kale with the netting as it gets so much taller the moths beat mine up pretty badly
What weight and width do you use? I have 30" beds with 18" row paths.
What width insect netting would you recommend for putting over kale which can grow quite tall? Three rows wide. thank you.
Hey Curtis,
Thanks so much for everything you do!
Your videos are very helpful for us as we are planning on starting a market garden and orchard! 🙂 We also just ordered your book and digital extras package from your website and are excited for the book to arrive!
Wondering what you think about using 14' wide Agribon AG-19 across 3 beds (30" beds with 18" paths totaling 10.5') The arch would be 3.25' high in the centre, but I'm a bit worried about the height on the edge rows though… Maybe sticking to two rows is best. What do you think? Is it safer to build a high tunnel if I want to fit more rows inside?
Also what is the brand of insect netting you're talking about here? I would like to use something more durable than remay and Agribon to get more out of my investment.
Any advice will help me out I' sure!
All the best!
Jeffrey
I think these ProtekNet insect nets will be perfect for growing southern california. I like that they are made out of High Density Polyethylene and Polyamide, which are high quality plastics, and are unlikely to leech any chemicals, unlike PVC and polystyrene that are in the majority of plastic gardening products on the market. Plus it sounds like these will last a long time. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your videos.

Ten hours of video making a week is an awesome contribution Curtis. I hope your patrons keep funding you. I'm learning so much from watching your videos. Your content is fresh informative and intelligent. Just what we need from your generation.
I like your T-shirt Curtis
I had flea beetles on my arugula and radish last year, ANYONE KNOW if I can plant in the same bed but just put the netting over it? or are the eggs still in that ground and I would have to plant these crops in a different location with the bug netting
WHere did you buy the netting from,
Thank you for no commercials!
Hi there,
I am wondering to know if can give me some advices please? I am trying to start moving my cabbage transplants outside as early as the beginning-mid of April. However, my country's (Mongolian) climate is not very friendly. In fact, during this period average night time temperature is around -8C and some times can reach even -10C but during the day it is around plus 8-13C. Thus, can you please give me some suggestions on keeping these cabbage transplants alive and healthy?
HI, I just saw your video- thank you! Just wondering How do you keep the insects from going under the netting? Do you just bury it in the soil? and what do you do about weeding?
You are a legend thanks for the link man. Keep crushing.
going to be covering my squash this year. sick of them vine borers destroying my summer squash.
i do not see many bees around here so do hand pollination. it will be no big deal to uncover for a few minutes to do that as well. it will be a lot less work than trying to stop the grubs as i have had to dig them out of the stems of the plants in the past and that is not always successful.
just checking on some videos to see what is the best setup for my purposes. i like the clips idea you have there.
wouldn't the netting block out the light? like shadecloth?
How does it work with plants that need pollinators?
What is the name brand of the insect netting? the link is not available anymore :/
The link below the video doesn't work and the person who keeps posting their insect netting is promoting plastic insect netting. I'm looking for the fabric insect netting promoted in this video.
Hey Curtis do you notice any mild frost protection from insect netting?
I am in California and just trying to find a couple degrees (like 2C) protection for the winter and some shade and minimal heat retention for summer.
