Strawberries & Birds

It seems every year I think maybe the birds won’t eat my strawberries but the robins just can’t resist. This is a simple way to cover the strawberries.

*My strawberries are in an awkward spot and they have grown all around my Concord grapes. I used 2 plastic bird nettings the largest ones I could find.

*Wire border fencing all around the strawberry patch.

*Cover the strawberries with netting and over the top of the wire fencing. I then secure it to the ground with rocks. (I use rocks because they grow out here where I live.). I then just move the rocks and pick the strawberries that are ripe and replace netting over them.

This has worked well for me for many years.
