Product Information

Rubber snakes and inflatable owls mimic natural predators, but they don't work for long. Birds soon figure out that these stand-ins never move, so you need to change their position every few days, which can be quite a hassle. Items that do move, like aluminum pie pans or old CDs hung from nearby branches, or Mylar tape fluttering from stakes, blow about and make scary reflections, but don't tend to work very well. Alpine strawberries can be bought as young plants or grown from seed sown indoors in spring or autumn A great solution is built a support system to hold the netting up and over the strawberry plants. And that’s where we came up with our DIY strawberry plant cage. About Our DIY Strawberry Plant Cage
