Default How do you put on bird netting over fruit trees?



For one thing your glasses wouldn't get tangled up in footsies or
ziplocks.

My pussy thinks the netting is a toy and loves to get all tangled in
it while I was trying to put it up.

Just covered my fig. However I think it was raccoons that were
stealing my figs last year because it was something heavy enough to
break branches.


I had everything from birds to skunks get tangled up in the nets. It usually
requred cutting them out, which seriously damaged the nets. The nets I
used were heavy duty, not the light bird netting sold in many stores.
Nevertheless, I had to do yearly maintenance patching all the holes made
by animals and branches. The sun also had a deteriorating effect on the
nets, making them weaker from season to season.
