Remember, as peppers and tomatoes are wind-pollinated, it's not just the
crawlies you want to keep out, but pollen borne on wind.

Not sure window screening has a tight enough weave to keep out the
pollen, which is why Remay or cheesecloth was recommended.

I've used the Remay, but not the cheesecloth, and would want to check
the weave on the cheesecloth, too -
