You’ve probably heard of bird netting for tomatoes and other crops. But have you heard about bird netting for strawberries?

During my early years in a family-owned commercial strawberry-growing business, I was worried I didn’t have a good solution to protect my strawberries from unwanted pests. 

I needed a solution fast to prevent fruit damage. For plantings where fruit losses may exceed 30% or 50% of the fruit or more, the netting pays for itself in a year or two by doubling the harvest yields.

I’m going to show you our solution which worked for our commercial strawberry garden.

Protecting strawberries from birds

Dozens of species of hungry birds descend to the ground to feed on strawberries. For example, crows, finches, grackles, robins, and starlings will visit your strawberry garden for food. When they are in full force, there is no relief.

You play net catch with your crops or fruit trees all day long, and it never seems to do any good to your strawberry patch. They will even break your strawberry plants’ twigs.

This means extra work and lost revenues if your business depends on the flow of income from selling your products from your strawberry patch.

I’ve learned much in my years in a family-owned farm business. A major part of my learning involved bird netting for strawberries, vegetables, and other fruits. No longer do I have to worry about birds, wasps, and other winged bugs eating our berry patch!

I had earlier tried scare tactics such as rubber snakes, creative mommy, and the like. The birds will get used to them and continue to eat the berries.

My business remains profitable thanks to bird netting for berries that keep out unwanted visitors.

Eyouagro strawberry netting

Bird netting can be used to protect strawberries, vegetables, flowers, and shrubs on your farm. It also keeps pests away from crops or prevents them from damaging your berries. Bird netting is secure for your plants because they are vulnerable to bird damage. Bird netting will help keep the birds out of the strawberry while allowing you access when needed.

Netting must be properly installed and maintained to exclude the pests and birds from your garden completely. You can tend your strawberry garden and harvest without removing the netting if you fasten them to a steel or wooden frame with the post. To stop birds from penetrating the net to eat your berries, anchor the cover to the ground. 

Bird netting is a great way to protect the fruits and vegetables, flowers, and shrubs in your garden. It’s made of plastic, so you don’t have to worry about it tearing or fading. Bird netting comes in different sizes for commercial gardeners:

I don’t have to worry about birds eating my strawberries or bees stinging the berries because they are covered in the nets. They are easy to wash, and very affordable.

I put them on my strawberries at the beginning of spring and take them off at the end of fall. They also have a nice weight to them which keeps my plants from blowing around in the wind.

 I decided to buy one netting last year and I was so impressed that I ordered four more for this year.

The prices are good, the quality is great and it saves me a ton of time during the harvesting season. I can’t imagine how much time and money I would have lost if I didn’t have the bird netting! Says Charlie Harper, from Newzealand
