Severe thunderstorms are heading for the Midwest US, threatening to wipe out gardens with damaging winds and hail. Getting ahead with some precautionary measures is key to keeping your plants safe – and hail netting is an essential to get your hands on.
When it comes to preparing your yard for a storm, hail netting (like this from Amazon) shouldn't be underestimated. It's a strong piece of garden netting that can be positioned over plants to stop hail crashing on them and causing damage. Secondarily, it also acts as a windbreak to protect stems from snapping.
