How to Cover Fruit Trees? Increase Protection and Harvest Abundantly
To increase fruit protection, consider installing special nets. If they are properly installed, no starling or blackbird will get inside. It is worth attaching artificial birds of prey or reflective tape to such material.. The winged guests will get scared and will lose their desire to feast in your garden. Another good method may be to place waterers at a considerable distance from the trees.. Birds in times of drought seek a way to quench their thirst, which they also achieve by eating fruit. If you provide them with such a place, they may lose interest in grapes. If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
