Application of Square Metal Mesh in Horticulture
Jan . 13, 2025 15:10
Square metal mesh is widely used in gardening, especially in plant support, separation, decoration and protection. It has become one of the indispensable materials in gardening because of its strong structure, good air permeability and strong durability.
Square Metal Mesh in Plant Support
Vines Climb Square Meshes
For vines such as morning glory, beans and grapes, square metal mesh can provide them with ideal climbing support. Fix the metal mesh on the fence, wall or specially built bracket in the garden, and vines can climb and grow along the mesh. For example, when planting grapes, the square metal mesh can help the vines to be evenly distributed on the shelves, so that the grape plants can better receive sunlight, which is beneficial to photosynthesis and fruit ripening. Moreover, the firmness of the metal mesh can bear the weight of vines and fruits and will not be easily deformed or damaged.
Its square mesh structure is also convenient for winding tendrils of vines. Compared with other supports, the edge of square mesh provides a clear winding point for tendrils, which is helpful to guide the growth direction of plants and make vines grow more orderly.
Square Metal Mesh as Flower Support
Some tall flowers, such as sunflower and hollyhock, are prone to lodging during their growth. Square metal mesh can be used as temporary or long-term support. In the early stage of flower planting, the metal net is placed around the flower plants. As the flowers grow, the plants will naturally rely on the metal net, thus maintaining an upright state. This can not only make the flowers grow more upright and beautiful, but also help the flowers to be better displayed and easy to watch.
Protective Function of Square Metal Mesh
Prevent animal damage
In gardens or orchards, square metal mesh can be used as an effective protective barrier to prevent animals from damaging plants. For example, setting a metal net fence around the vegetable garden can prevent rabbits, chickens, ducks and other poultry and livestock from entering the garden to eat vegetables. For small gardens, a square mesh fence with a suitable height (such as 1-1.5 meters) can play a good protective role.
In the orchard, especially in the season when the fruit is ripe, the metal net can prevent birds from pecking at the fruit. The metal net can be built on the fruit tree to cover the crown and form a protective net cover, which will not affect the ventilation and lighting of the fruit tree, but also effectively protect the fruit.
Windbreak protection
For some fragile horticultural plants, such as newly transplanted seedlings or flowers, square metal mesh can play a windproof role. Installing the metal net in the windward direction of plants can weaken the impact of strong winds on plants. For example, in coastal areas or windy mountainous areas, the use of square metal mesh can reduce the damage caused by strong winds to horticultural plants and reduce the occurrence of blown leaves and broken stems.
Square Metal Mesh Is Very Important for Gardening Modeling
Square metal mesh can be used as a material for creative gardening modeling. Metal mesh can be bent and folded into various shapes, such as round, arched, wavy, etc., which can be used to create landscape sketches in the garden. For example, the metal mesh is made into an arched flower stand, and flowers such as climbing roses are planted to form a romantic flower arch, which adds beauty to the garden.
You can also combine square metal mesh with other materials (such as wood, bamboo, etc.) to create more personalized gardening shapes. For example, a frame is made of wood, a square mesh is fixed on the frame to make a plant display wall, and succulents or small flowers are planted on the net to create a three-dimensional plant wall.
In large gardening places, square metal mesh can be used to divide different areas. For example, the garden is divided into flower planting area, vegetable planting area, leisure area and so on. As the boundary of the partition, the metal mesh can not only clarify the regional function, but also not completely block the line of sight, so that the whole gardening place has a sense of spatial hierarchy. At the same time, it can also be used as a temporary isolation facility to isolate the diseased plant area from the healthy plant area to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
