A netted grid of 6.5 x 6.5" squares for all your vertical (vining crops) and horizontal (flowers and cannabis) support needs. Some even wrap it around fruit trees to keep large birds and mammals from accessing the ripe fruit. Made from the jute plant, Corchorus spp., which originated on the Indian subcontinent.
Unlike our poly trellis netting, jute netting does not stretch, which is very advantageous for numerous applications. Withstands up to three seasons of use. Jute cultivation requires no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, and it grows during the rainy season with little need for irrigation. The plants are hand-harvested instead of by machinery. Treated with food-grade vegetable oil. Made in India.
We have heard significant positive feedback from farmers regarding this jute trellis. The points below highlight what they like most about it.
Easy end-of-season cleanup: simply cut it down in sections and haul the whole thing, crop residue and all, straight to the compost pile.
No plastic waste: eliminates the cost and hassle of landfill disposal that comes with synthetic netting.
Labor savings: no detangling crop residue, which can offset the higher upfront cost.
Compostable and biodegradable: breaks down naturally rather than adding to landfill.
Strong enough for heavy crops: holds up well for peas, pole beans, and even melons.
Works across multiple crops and growing contexts: proven in open fields and high tunnels alike.
