I found the tell-tale sign of a bird (poop) in my berry garden this afternoon. Right now I don't have much fruit (it's still too early here). My question is, how do I deter the birds? I don't want them to eat all of my berries. I've covered my strawberry bed with cheese cloth and that was pretty easy but my raspberry & blueberry bushes would be awkward to cover the same way.
How about some lawn ornaments like windmills? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
I made a frame around my Blueberry bushes, and then added the netting. I figured that the netting should be held (at least a few inches) off of the bushes, otherwise the birds would just land and grab every berry that was within their reach.Joyfirst wrote:Do you just drape it around the plant or do you need to biuld a frame of some sort?
I plan on doing the same for my grapes, when they are getting closer to maturity.
