I had a lot of trouble last year with cabbage whites getting through netting on my brassicas and also for the first time leek moths. I was considering enviromesh to cover my leeks and carrots etc this year but it is so expensive I think I will have to opt for a cheaper alternative like debris netting. Has anyone used this, for what crops and how successful was it. I would be most grateful for any other suggestions for an alternative if anyone uses anything different.
Debris netting will stop most cabbage whites. Always use it for my brassicas.
Most people on our site use green scaffold \ debris netting. They say its's the cheapest option

I built this with debri netting and water pipe.
If you're not too fussy about it being brand new Violet, ask a scaffolder on site, they're more than happy to give it away once the job's done.
All they do is take it back to their yard and burn it!!
I recently got so much from a local site, I had to get someone to help STUFF it into the back of my Fiat Punto!!
All you need to do when you was to use it is unroll it and make sure there are no tears. (that's rips not crying)

Several years ago we asked scaffolders for some and they said we could have the lot. We loaded our car several times and provided all the gardeners we knew with it. Its much stronger than any you buy and much wider and the holes are small. Its recycling at its best in my opinion and its free. What more could you ask for.
