0 2007-12-31T18:51:54-08:00 false My first attempt at protecting my raspberry crop from the birds was a failure. The silver-eyes (or wax-eyes as they are also known) got in and feasted. So I had a second attempt and made a better job of it. I put up bamboo framing, tied together with strawbale twine, and hang the bird netting over that. I then secure the bird netting to the bamboo frame with twisty-ties, carefully eliminating all the holes. It seems to have worked because three days later I'm ready for my first big pick. 0 false 1064 false false false Entry 3715 Planting 2007-12-31T16:00:00-08:00 DMY 3953 Public 2007-12-31T18:51:54-08:00 436
