You wait all Year in anticipation… and overnight Your crop is gone advertorial The recent COVID-19 Pandemic and the rushes on supermarkets have revealed how dependent people are on others for their food. Some of you with vegetable gardens would have been a lot more resilient. However, how many of us plant a crop, whether it be fruit like apples and pears or a crop in the vegetable garden like delicious strawberries, only to have possums, rabbits or birds nibble away at them? It might not be so bad if these unwanted guests decided to eat just one item in your prized crop, but they seldom do this, instead preferring to sample a bit of everything. You can muck around with hanging up all sorts of paraphernalia, but they seldom work for any length of time. The only real way to keep your crop for yourself and family is total exclusion of the vermin, but stretching bird netting over plants and then having to remove it to pick is tedious and time consuming. Would it not be so much better if you could walk into a vermin exclusion zone and pick at your leisure? Hunkin Garden Products have such a product with their UK-made fruit and vegetable cages. Walk- in aluminium fruit and vegetable cages are the most cost effective way to protect your crop. For brassicas, install an anti-butterfly cage to keep out the white butterfly. Sure - you can spray them - but then you may as well purchase them from the supermarket where the commercial grower has already done it for you. So, if you actually want to get to eat your crop this season, install a fruit and vegetable or brassica cage - you will be amazed to see just how much you have lost in the past to vermin.
