How do I stop birds from eating the tomatoes?
Have a small garden with five plants. Last year the local birds did a lot of damage, and this year they seem to be starting again with the few tomatoes that already ripened.
I tried last year a net that they sell at Home Depot, but it blocked the sun and killed the plants. This year I put some red Christmas tree bulbs on the plants - read somwhere that the birds will think it's fruit, peck on it, hurt their beaks, and give up.
This doesn't seem likely but right now I'll try anything. (Putting water out for them didn't work either.)
I could pick the tomatoes before they're ripe, but they don't taste as good as vine-ripened.
Anyone have any experience with this prob, and a sure-fire remedy?
Scarecrow. strips of pie tins, (things that move with the wind, or make noise. plastic snakes will all work for a while maybe long enough for the season. You got the wrong netting, get the kind for fruit trees, it won't block the sun. Lay it across some tall bamboo stakes to make a tent that you can lift up to get to the plants.
