Fruit cages - home made or 'off the shelf'?
Dear all,
Please excuse me if I continue to pick your brains: As part of the small orchard / domestic fruit growing are I am planning, I want to erect a fruit cage for raspberries, strawberries and possibly a Morello Cherry. My grandfather's cage was made of metal water pipe (which rusted) and chicken mesh. I had to continuously rescue bullfinches from within. I had contemplated making our cage from 4x4 inch treated timber poles concreted into the ground and covered with some form of horicultural mesh. This however could be quite expensive. Are there any ready made fruit cages that would be 'just as good', but easier to erect, and cheaper? I don't want rubbish which will need replacing in a few years. Birds must be kept well and truly out! Thanks once again, Keith |
