Hairnets to protect ripening tomatoes?

rhoder551 · April 11, 2016

Has anyone tried this? Last year some critter bit into every one of my Ananas Noir tomatoes, my favorite! I was thinking about how to protect my tomatoes this time around and a couple of days ago I got an idea while conversing with a friend who happened to be wearing a hairnet. In the past I have used those fine mesh draw string produce bags sold as green alternatives to plastic bags but they are so so expensive and I would need several for each plant. If you have tried hair nets or anything else please let me know, I would sure appreciate it....
