Dear Leah,
Could you describe the structure used to hold up the netting out in the
field? How is the netting sealed off? Is it left up all year long? Can
you take some digital pictures and send them out. (Don't send the pictures
out on the list service, but it should be okay to send them directly to
individuals.)
I am always trying to learn of methods like these nets that are being used
to solve a problem with insects. Who knows, the method might also be useful
for other growing situations.
Best Regards,
Thomas Giannou
