It's not immediately clear to me how this deters such pests.

    The netting isn't big enough for squirrels to get through. It's draped down from the trellising, and pinned down to the ground. There's no way for the squirrels to get in unless they climb up and over, and they don't seem to be able to figure that out.

    Not sure what to do about the horn worms though.

    Oh, so there are also trellises of some sort. What else is there? It's also still it quite clear how this is configured - are these frustra surrounding each plant? Because that sounds like a lot of work for each tomato.

    As for hornworms, best we've found is a daily sweep with a jar of soapy water for ritual executions.
