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.

Thank you Mr Smith (or is it Mrs Mith?)
This is why the prepper threads are great. Inspiration!
I’ll be at the garden store when they open this morning.

My blackberry and raspberry bushes are a fair distance from the house, and the squirrels have been able to make holes in my nets, and the birds have thanked them.

How does a drop line work?
