Having fruit trees in your yard is a year-round joy. But, some fruits never quite make it to our kitchens because pests get to them first. That's why I've found gardeners are turning to covering figs in tinfoil to protect them from birds and squirrels.
It's a simple hack for growing a fig tree, but one you wouldn't necessarily think to try. By putting a physical barrier in place, you can stop curious wildlife from stealing your harvest, without causing any harm to them. Not only this, but it's a trick that can aid getting a fig tree to fruit and ripen.
