VEGE NET

VEGE Net from Netpro saves the day

These Bugs Used To Really Grind My Gears.

Vege Net has been a godsend. I once fought a losing battle with insects in my garden, I’d persevere but was always disappointed with stings in the fruit and little grubs in the flesh, caterpillars that eat everything in sight, Heliothis moths (Bud worms) and their larvae that destroy tomatoes, lettuces, brassicas, capsicums and peas and beans. When on the odd occasion I did have some success, I’d have an infestation of flea beetles or pumpkin beetles or those little scale insects.

Loopers are very interesting for little children in the garden, but gosh they can be devastating.

Cabbage white fly? The larvae eat the outer leaves of cabbages, broccoli, and cauliflower and the young leaves, okay they eat everything.

Cluster worms, o-my goodness, they will wreak havoc when young, feeding as a mass of wriggling destruction. They bore holes in everything!

Potato moths these are the little sods that make windows in the leaves and they bore into growing potatoes.

Green vegetable bugs that distort plant growth by sucking sap, and speaking of sap suckers, white flies, leafhoppers, silver white flies, let’s not forget aphids, mealy bugs and thrips.

A Novice to the garden would probably give up when the barriers to success are so many. There is a range of chemicals to reduce and or destroy these little blighters, but for me that would defeat the purpose of growing at home.
So, I purchased some vege net, to protect my plants from the flying insects and therefore those insects laying eggs.

A wonderful success. I have had two whole seasons without insect damage. I am building a large house covered in 30% shade cloth ensuring my home-grown goodies are organic and I’ll use the vege net for additional shade on the blistering hot days.
Thanks Netpro.

Success Stories

Sandalwood Feedlot Pty Ltd

We liked the product NetPro offered, quality was our main criteria. The option of wooden posts was an important feature because of the highly-corrosive conditions in the feedlot environment. We were able to work through the construction plan and the materials options during the quoting process. After construction was completed, we had a couple of small issues, which NetPro worked through with us – the backup service was very good, and we are really happy with the result. The most read more

Southern Downs Regional Council

Initially the idea of the net canopy over the landfill was discussed with Netpro as they are a local company and at the time Netpro was considering advancing into this area (protection of landfills). Netpro assisted Council with a very reasonable price which allowed the project to proceed. At the time the landfill site had problems with wind blown litter and a solution to fully prevent this problem was not easy until the canopy was suggested. Following construction of the read more

Golden Valley Orchards

In 2003, Golden Valley Orchards were offered the opportunity to work with the NCEA (National Centre for Engineering in Agriculture) and NetPro Pty Ltd on a research project evaluating the effectiveness of (among others) NetPro’s dam-covers. Renato says of his first impressions of the idea: “Evaporation is a pretty big problem – I thought it was definitely a good idea. The only problem was the expense: the cover cost two hundred thousand but we received a subsidy of eighty thousand.” read more

JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding

Discovering Net-Pro has been valuable for JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding!! As we were considering options to rebuild pens and shade structures this past year, finding a comprehensive solution that fulfilled a wide range of needs for the feed yard seemed almost impossible. Those needs included increased height for airflow & drying, eliminating poles in the middle of the pens to improve pen surface conditions and facilitate cleaning with heavy equipment, and better shade coverage with less material – and read more

Magnificent Product

In 2017 I moved from Toowoomba to Geham north of Toowoomba. I set up a temporary shade house for my Clivia collection. During the Winter I had a negative 7°C morning and as a result I lost over 250 plants. I called NetPro in Stanthorpe and spoke to Glenn McRae about options to protect my plants. Glen recommended their Frost Cloth Spun-bonded Polypropylene (“fleece”) White, 30gsm (grams per square metre). This year I had a negative 6.5°C and under the read more

Gary and Ursula, Lychees

I’m writing to thank you for your excellent product. We covered our ten year old lychee patch with the Fruit Fly net using steel post/poly pipe tunnels. The result has been extraordinary – the first time we have ever been able to harvest clean, mature fruit from these trees! The feeling under the nets is one of complete peace – protected from all predatory insects and birds. Until now we ate lychees as half-green, tart fruit in order to rescue read more
