Growing fruit and vegetables at home is really rewarding, but far too often you are faced with others who want to steal your glory. Birds are notorious for pilfering fruit in summer before gardeners get a chance to pick them. As someone who has lost crops to birds before, I know how frustrating it can be.
One foolproof way to protect soft fruit in your yard is to cover it with a cage. Such an enclosure protects your crops from unwanted guests, who may return again and again once they’ve discovered your plants. A cage is less hassle than manually draping and messing about with netting, and keeps your harvests safe.
