Netting plays a crucial role in gardening for various purposes, including protecting plants from pests, providing structural support, promoting healthy growth, and enhancing crop yield.

1. Pest control: Netting serves as a physical barrier to prevent pests such as insects, birds, rodents, and larger animals like deer from accessing and damaging plants. By covering crops, gardeners can effectively protect their plants from pests that may feed on leaves, fruits, or roots, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and promoting more sustainable pest management practices.
2. Bird control: Bird netting is tightly woven to prevent birds from reaching through and pecking at crops, helping to preserve harvests and prevent yield losses, especially during the ripening stage when they are most vulnerable to bird damage.
3. Structural support: Trellis netting or mesh netting allows plants to climb and spread vertically, maximizing space utilization, improving air circulation, and facilitating easier harvesting and maintenance. This  can be used to provide structural support for climbing or vining plants, such as peas, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

By choosing the appropriate type and using it effectively, you can enhance plant growth, increase yield and improve overall success.
