That sounds lovely, let us know how it goes

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty well except for the ninjas.

Nice! Tedious work. We did that one year and it worked pretty well. My neighbors thought I was crazy :D

Good idea, are the bags also squirrel-proof?

[–] pdqcp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not OP, but bags around here are only effective against small critters like flies and wasps.

For bigger critters like that, a cage around the fruit or dome for the tree is the only thing that is able to prevent their access. They are quite clever

Thanks that makes sense. My dad has problems with squirrels and his peach tree so I appreciate the info

You ever slip a bottle over top when they're just buds and bottle them in brandy?

Are you using gift bags? How long do they last?

[–] cat_fishing@feddit.online 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They were sold as fruit bags. This was the second year using them and they are holding up

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

I've been using wedding gift bags, they look the same but have ribbons to tie them. Pretty cheap from the discount store and I'm on my third year this year with them.
