Raspberries and Netting
« on: August 19, 2009, 20:12 »
Hi All,

I am intending to get some raspberries and was wondering if I need to net them, i was going to make a fruit cage but a lot of guys on the lotty have not netted the rasps and they seem to be doing well?

Thanks

My two rows are now 6 years old,this year for the first time i lost some to sparrows.However they produce so many berries i dont mind the birds having a few,everythings got to eat and they dont do any damage.

I've gat a large row of autumn raspberries that are now going full pelt. Birds don't touch them, they're too busy eating my other stuff!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

The blackbirds are enjoying my autumn rasps rather too well for my liking - so I've had to net them I'm afraid. I was the first to net mine & you can see that the birds are moving down the lottie field as each progressive row of rasps are netted to keep the blighters off.

Debris netting or Ikea netting?
