(1) At what point in the corn development cycle do you tie the bags on?

(2) Anybody have success with this method of protection?


Please see my post in the earlier thread about temporary fencing. It really
works.

(I should have mentioned that the corn is planted one per square foot in each
block.)

My experience with my grapes is that bags will work against birds but
not against racoons.

When the ears gets near mature, or when ever something attackes them, spray
them with hot sauce. This will keep all 4 legged animals away.

Pardon me, change that to "So I'm thinking of using the method of bagging
