How do you put on bird netting over fruit trees?
Hmmm... How about a yappy dog. Since I got my little Yorkie, critters
like rabbits and squirrels are no longer a problem. I have also trained
my dog to stay out of the garden, without punishing it. Then again,
someone told me "yorkies are not dogs at all, Yorkies are squirrels with
bad haircuts."
Enjoy Life .... Dan

I got the netting but it get all tangled up with my shirt buttons and
is impossible to get over the tree. It's almost invisible.
There are at least 4 squirrels dinning on my pears. I only got 4
Bartlet left on the tree so I can just wrap them. I had just thin the
Asian pears and right after the squirrels thin them a whole lot more.
Was going to shoot them up they are young ones and I didn't have the
heart.
It takes two people, and a bit of patience.
You can always box trap the squirrels and relocate them a few miles away.
In some jurisdictions you can't do that Om. In Louisiana you have to get
a permit which involves telling the game people where you're going to
release them and what the terrain is like, etc. More trouble than just
letting the little devils run amok.
