Battling Squirrels
After losing every single unripe, peach, apple, cherry and fig to the tree rats this year and numerous green tomatoes already, I hit my limit. There are too many to dispatch w/o a pellet gun, which is not an option in the city limits, unfortunately.
I built a PVC frame and covered it with Bird Netting (75' x 14' is ~$26 at Amazon). the edges are held down with bricks and small logs. It's not all that aesthetically pleasing and it will be inconvenient to pick and to make crosses but I am determined to have a crop!
