This was the easiest, cheapest method i could find on CZcams! Thank you !
That was really, really timely and helpful! This growing season we have been plagued by squirrels, chipmunks, birds and rabbits munching on EVERYTHING in the garden. Something has even taken a liking to my African marigolds! I guess there's a first for everything. I will definitely implement this method. Thank you!
excellent info - beautiful garden there. Sweet dog. Nice, calm person. All appreciated.
Great instructional video! Detailed, well explained, simple, and economical.
This was helpful. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks! I love how you show how to disassemble, so that it can be stored and reused.
Thank you. I am quite sure you just saved me a lot of money. Thank you for your efforts on behalf of us beginners. Great helps and ideas so I can adjust my order for staples🤫
Thank you so much and family members and friends so much about the best way to culture the seedling 🇺🇸💘🐼🐨💋👄🐍🌱🌻🌼🌺🌷🌵👓🕶😍😎😲😺👼👆💚💛💜💙👒👡👕👖👗👘👙👚👔
Funny how this vid just popped up.
I've been using irrigation hose that's been chewed up by squirrels.
Props to my phone for spying on me...
😆👌
One of the few videos that shows removal of the cover for harvesting. Thanks.
Thank you for such an informative video. Hopefully this will deter the squirrels and rabbits from using my garden as their personal smorgasbord!😂 have a great 2024 season.
Helpful and clever- thanks!
This was super helpful!
good for you good health keep up the good god bless you
Super helpful.❤
Great video. I didn't realize bird netting would keep out squirrels. Don't they just chew through the plastic netting?
Yes they do
Yeah... Even chicken wire can be dug under.
I've given up on trying to grow in-ground
However, fabric smartpots have kept gophers out and with chicken wire on the sides and bird netting over the top untill plants are huge nothing (even chickens!) Seems to damage any plants
yes the bunnies and squirrels got right thru that plastic stuff ended up with 11/2" hardware cloth
Thanks for the helpful video. This is great for seedlings but what do you do to keep squirrels away from tomato and bean plants when they start to produce fruit?
That’s the problem I had where they would take one bite from the tomato then leave the rest. I then switched to chicken wire which kept out rabbits but squirrels can climb anything, so last year I bought a greenhouse and problem solved
Your beautiful. Thanks for the info.
What about voles? Do I need to lay metal screening on the bottom of my raised bed? Thank you. Your chickens sound so happy.
Thank you, Lindsay. Great video, clear and well edited. Just curious, do you have gophers? The beds aren't very high so was wondering if you sue gohper wire or hardware cloth on the bottoms.
Thank you, Tim
Yes, we dig down and lay gopher wire before the bed is constructed. Here's an article about how we do it: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0844/5779/files/raised-bed_d1e6342d-79f4-434a-962b-51273e0c40fc.pdf?465
Really good video. I loved it. Can you add in the show notes the width of the tubing and bird netting that you used in this video.
We are working on adding these products to our website
Thank you for posting this helpful video. Does the hose ever kink when arching it to the other side? I will use your approach next year. I just set up netting over newly planted seeds and learned 2 lessons: A large 14'x14' square of netting is hard to work with, so will swtich to narrow in the future; and netting catches on any little imperfection of the scrap lumber I used to construct a simple frame for the netting. :) Now I understand the brilliance of your approach, especially using a smooth material - the irrigation hose.
Yes, the hose may kink. If it's too far gone, we get new hose.
looks like it will keep me out from weeding and harvesting. Squirrels eat all summer long.
I have a huge problem with the slugs
Check with your local garden center for organic pest control that's available in your area. We also have some articles about how we do it at the trial garden: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0844/5779/files/Organic_Garden_Management_Part_1.pdf?15935038233721585209 and cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0844/5779/files/Organic_Garden_Management_Part_2.pdf?13200903066568132410
Ok
Won't squirrels just chew through this? Is this only for birds?
Squirrels are evil. I used to think they were cute but I hate them now.
It works to deter squirrels
Love that this is inexpensive and materials are readily available. Very helpful and well explained. Thank you.
Thats great but rats can chew thru that
