    Hi all. Yet another question. I have a load of plain white net curtain and |I am wondering if I can use this in place of fleece to protect seedlings etc on my raised veg bed and also to protect strawberrys. Any thoughts? Thanks as always

    It will provide good protection against the cabbage white and pigeon pests. It won't help as much as fleece to keep in the warmth.

    JWK is right.. I do use some old net curtains on my fruit bushes later to stop the birds eating the fruit.. I just drape them over & anything is worth a try against the dreaded cabbage white..!! :thumb:
