the outcome is going to be.

Jimmy,

Why don't you just cover your crops with netting?

Too ignorant?

Netting works.

Unless you are battling rats...

Ed,

I have problem with my backyard fruits got destroyed by the birds.
Putting a net over the fruit tree is not a practical solution -- I don't
think.

Search for bird net on the web and focus on those that provide large
nets for advertising, the inside of aircraft hangers and warehouses. I
have a 30'x50' knitted net that covers my entire vegetable garden (or
rather the parts of it that contain things the birds bother). It also
help to keep the really large and destructive vermin (deer) out.

What I'm looking for is netting fine enough to keep out the japanese
beetles.

The problem with that is that it also keeps out polinators. I have
the same sentiments about the black, sucking stink bugs that attack my
tomatoes after mid season. It has been so hot and dry this year that
there are not many of them. Probably because their alternate hosts
are toast.

Sorry this took so long. I have been changing news servers and the
automatic update of the message indices takes a very long time.

Try :

It can take a while to get it set up right if you are working alone,
but it has lasted two years in central Texas sun with the only holes
where my bonehead neighbor cut branches of his pecans and let them
fall into my garden.

As an added benefit, it protected the garden from golf-ball sized hail
this spring. It might not have held under a sustained storm as the
weigh of the retained hail would have been too much for my supports,
but for the 10 minute variety that did in all of my neighbors'
gardens, it worked wonders.

Oooops sorry this is so late. I've been so busy preserving. Japanese
beetles come way after pollination.
