- This is a simple way to protect your raised beds from birds and animals in the garden. The strawberries made it this year! :-D
The fertilizer I use: amzn.to/2uZ7id5
Similar LED lights to what I use: amzn.to/2O01cEQ

Chris, hello from Canada. I love your videos. You're a stellar gardener. I'm really really satisfied with your content!
I wish it was summer all year long too. You are a great guy! I hope you always enjoy a rich, happy life with much peace and love. I so appreciate your relationship with nature. :)
Hello from Canada! I think your build is the best design I have seen so far! Happy growing.
Excellent idea! I am fighting squirrels eating my strawberries and have yet to win the battle. I am going to build this cage over my strawberry beds! It is a neater and faster solution than the metal tunnels that I have built. Great job!
Great idea!! And nice way to protect the plants!thank you
Good job Christopher, thanks for sharing this video. I think I will make like that on one of my garden beds. I planted my strawberries last May 2021. I can see something eating some of my strawberries. So, this is good idea. Thanks again.
I love this! I’m going to do this. Thanks.
Brilliant! You make it look so easy. I'm no use with woodwork diy tools etc
Looks Fantastic.
Det ser jo kjempebra ut! Smart og funksjonelt - håper det fungerer.
Good work!! And you made it look very easy. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
This is such a great idea!
Chris, hello from Rialto California USA. What a great idea, good job bud. Cheers 🍺
Good job Chris, nice work.
I want some of those pants! Lol.
Nice build!
Great job Chris 👍🏼🏴
Excellent work Chris!
Nice man, I will use this myself!
Nice job!
Thank you... I like it!
Great idea!!!
This is excellent Chris! I am going to use this design for my strawberry bed this spring - I had the same issue with animals this summer.
Awesome!
BTW, added you as a featured channel now. :)
Love it. Hubby has a project for Spring:)
So easy!!! Thanks
This looks great. We have voles here and I find they like my root crops. I have found a gravel mulch (as opposed to wood) deters the voles we have. I use netting draped over my strawberry patch to deter the birds and the neighbourhood cat that thinks the strawberries make a nice bed.
This year they actually did not touch my carrots! Makes me so happy :-)
That one looks more professional than the one we made. 👍 Nevertheless our 🍓 strawberry cage on a buget did it's job as well. This year we could harvest many 🍓🍓🍓🍓
We are going to try this. I planted strawberries this year and I couldn’t harvest coz it was the first year, but the few I missed that got ripe got eaten by something - mice and/or chipmunks, and we need to come up with a cover. I think this will be perfect, thank you!
Hi there. Here in Canada my strawberry thieves are chipmunks. They're cute little rodents but I don't want to share my berries with them so thank you so much for this solution.
I agree! Cute, but not in the strawberry patch hahaha!
Brilliant!
Hi Chris! Very impressed with your ideas. Great job. Do you handle your crates of rain and rot?
Allotment gardeners here in South Wales put large yoghurt pots over the end of bamboo poles stuck into the ground and spaced around the beds. The Voles don't like the noise and movement of the yoghurt pots and it seems to work well.
Hej Christopher.
Jeg har set en del af dine videoer.
For mit vedkommende er det endnu kun blevet til indendørs dyrkning.
Men jeg planer alt fra kaffetræer, mango, avocado, different chili plants, mandeltræ, papaya, apple, lime, lemon.
Men fedt at se dine video!

Looks great and I always enjoy your speeded-up videos. Just wondering if the screen stopped those pests? And, does your wife finally consider you a gardener? :-)
Nice episode and thank you. I do have a simple question if you don't mind. Can you put Ray's channel in the discriptionbox if you are doing one of his things? I also am a great fan of him and because of that started to follow you. It would mean alot if people could just click a link to him.
Another beautiful project. Glad you did it for your wife. Happy wife happy life.
Good video. I used chicken wire and yet I think mice are eating them. I knew critters liked strawberries but didn't realize that they take every single last one!
Muito legal!! That's awesome!!
Update on this? Did it work?
Thanks for a great idea Chris but being a feable little old lady i wondered if plastic boards would work and be lighter to manage when i needed to lift the top sandy
Sandra Lane i think that would work just fine! As long as there is not too strong wind. 💚
Good job. What did you use for the string when it is open?
Thank you! Great idea. Looks nicer than just draping netting over where birds could still pack thru. I'd be a bit worried about birds during daytime and if I left it closed, sun exposure during the day. Have you always opened yours or ha a you not and noticed any difference?
Sun light? The netting is not goingto block the sun light..well maybe by 5-10% but not noticeable.
I call them pasture rats here in Texas. My heeler dog has taken up the sport of catching them on the run. Between those and moles she gets three or four a day. So did I understand you have screen under the bed also, so they can’t dig up?
Gr8 video. Where do u get the hindge?? What type? Name?
What about mice? They can get from underneath. My strawberries grow like crazy, but I saw many birds in my garden when I caught them by surprise and I'm to the left over. However, I know mice are also eating them from underneath because my cat is constantly watching the strawberries outside of my fenced garden. I won't let my inside/outside cat in my organic garden because she uses it as a vast litter.
Then you would be living in Arizona, I plant in mid May to avoid the spring bugs. Stays hot with monsoons and humidity till late October.
hope it works for you ! good luck
💚
Yeet
I have been having problems with something coming overnight and eating just the top parts of the strawberries as they get barely red. I'm thinking that it's mice as it seems too small to be raccoons and I don't think that rabbits would be an issue at night. Anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? I'm planning on making something similar to this to see if it helps.
Any reason why this can’t be used for other fruits or veggies?
Are you breeding Carolina reaper and Scorpion trinidad moruga scorpion pepper
Chris hello from Siberia! Good video. But it seems that will not enough sun light and warm for berries.
Did it work?
Hope it worked, small animals can get through very small holes...
We need to do this. Raccoons are eating our strawberries
How did it work out
Works great!
If its a crow , build a scarecrow
It may stop the birds, but won't stop the bugs from eating them
That's true
