  • Hey Christian, put your chooks under the netting. They can eat bugs, fertilize your trees and keep down on the grasses.

  • This is an example of a bat and wildlife friendly solution - small mesh, white so it is visible, and stretched over a frame so bats do not get hopelessly entangled and just 'bounce' off. I wish more people would be as thoughtful when it comes to netting. Thanks for posting this

  • So I have around US$60,000 worth of Cockatoos and Galahs visit my small garden area every day. In fact one was on my kitchen table the other day . . . they just come in to my home, bold as brass, cheeky chappies!

  • Great tip. I'll be using this. There are preferred mesh types if you're in an area with flying foxes, as they can get in a nasty tangle and become injured in some mesh types.

  • That's a really inventive and practical idea! Very cool!!

  • I did a small version of that for my raised beds to use for Winter for plastic or shade in Summer. I must remember that for my trees but I havent seen any cockies around. Bet something will be after my cherries though. Thanks for sharing a great tip.

  • Thats an assume idea. Thanks for sharing

  • That's funny that you are trying to get rid of cockatoos! Here in the US they sell for over 1000 US dollars at a pet shop lol!

  • Brilliant. We are potting up fruit trees this year and they will need protection from evil birdies. You must have been thinking through my mind as I was debating doing the same to keep the intense heat off the tomatoes and cucumbers.

  • Sucks about the birds, but it's a great idea. If you made it out of smaller screen you could get rid of some bugs too ;)
