Mr Joe Cottingham of Watts Farms October 09
"I have found it easy to justify the cost of the mesh you have
supplied me but always felt that the money you charge for the
Multi-roll machine which is really only a big fishing reel was excessive,
that is until I finally purchased one. I saved its price in
reusable crop covers (fleece and polythene) within a month of
purchase. That's a big plus on top of the labour savings
relating to the laying and removal of the mesh, thanks Joe Cottingham, Watts Farms" |

It has been superb, no bugs in my veg on allotment and they are
also very healthy. They were protected from the strong winds we
get on the site and from the intense heat of the sun. |

Mr. G Elder, Chapel Farm (Featured in the Edinburgh Evening
News Fri 17 Dec 2004)
An organic farmer is set for a major Christmas windfall after
using special"net jackets" to protect his crop of Brussels
sprouts. More than four tones of Graham Elder's harvest of the
festive favourite was left inedible after being attacked by
aphids last year. But the so-called "Wondermesh" has
successfully protected the North Berwick farmer's wares.
Mr. Elder, 40, today said he was thrilled to have a bumper
five-tonne harvest in time for Christmas. He said: "Last year's
hot summer was ideal for aphids, which caused a large part of
the crop to be written off. This year we came up with the idea
of putting a fine mesh over the crop and we put ladybirds
underneath to eat the aphids" Spokesperson for Wondermesh, said
"We pioneered the use of netting to protect crops as an
alternative to chemicals. The mesh is mainly used on swedes. In
fact, 95 per cent of all swedes grown for supermarkets in the UK
are now grown under netting." Mr. Elder's Chapel Farm supplies
organic sprouts, cabbage and potatoes to Tesco. Grocery industry
officials say organic vegetables are in huge demand during the
run-up to Christmas. |

review) During a recent visit to C J Bean & Sons of Deal, Kent,
highly respected brassica growers, Mr. John Bean commented "If I
had not started to use Wondermesh two years ago on all our
brassicas I believe we would have given up growing veg this
year" |

100% of his glasshouse turnip crop. CRF has been successfully
restricted from the crop. The only difference seen when compared
to uncovered turnips is a slightly lighter leaf colour. Has so
far managed to successfully grow 6 batches of turnip and is now
awaiting the 7th! |
