that time of year again and the birds are all watching me plant and
deciding who eats what!,what methods have you all found the most
effective,there seems to be no end of clever looking devices,humming
tape,inflatable birds of prey but do they work?,all input most
welcome,thank you all!


We bought a large fruit cage to cover our brassica bed, it's 6m x 6m, and we
move it every year in accordance with our 4 year crop rotation. Good
headroom so we can weed and look after the plants without having to
constantly take the net off and put it back again, luxury.
