Ok even a full bird feeder isn't working this year - at least well enough!
And I can not afford to spend the $10 a week on feeding them.
They are going after even the slightly orange tomatoes and it is such a huge
flock of White Winged Doves that have taken over I don't even get the
Blackbirds, Jays, Wrens, & Sparrows anymore.
Has anyone tried hanging those moth balls from the tomato cages? Does it
dissuade the birds? Does it affect (adversely) the tomatoes themselves?
Anyone else having a lot of trouble this year too?
I wouldn't. Think about it, mothballs on cages, rain on mothballs,
mothballs disolve into dirt, tomatoes feed on dirt, you feed on tomatoes
enriched by mothballs.
Can't be good.
