Nice. How come netted? My garlic patch isn't and I'm now wondering what pest will come and destroy them just before they're ready.

Never netted our and it’s always been fine. Wondering what this is for too? Interested to know.

We've always had problems with onion fly. Trying out this mesh to see if it keeps them at bay.
The larvae burrow into the bulb and cocoon themselves. Means the garlic doesn't keep as well and if you don't fancy protein enrichment you have to go picking the blighters out
