How do you keep the dang birds and squirrels from eating your blackberries and raspberries?
They’re 20 feet from the house- a hundered from the woods- and I think the activity keeps the birds away. Maybe the mulberries-farther from the house and nearer the woods- draw them away, I get near zero of the mulberries dang it.
Birds got all of some red raspbrries off a ways from the house. I’m gonna try laying plastic screening on them this year when they ripen.
In a SHTF situation some pitch lines in berry bushes would get a good harvest of birds.
Hubby puts netting over our wild blackberry bushes. We also hung wren’s houses all around the fruit areas.
Wrens like to eat bugs, not berries, and they are territorial, so they chase of the birds that would like to feast on the berries.
Also old computer disks and aluminum pie pans strung up so that they move in the wind will help scare them away.
