I want to protect my blueberry bushes, what else would I need, thank you.

I use aluminum pie tins and pieces of aluminum foil, about 2 feet long (fold the end of the foil over a few times to make it strong enough to hold string. And tie two-three pie tins close enough to each other so they bang against each other when the wind blows).They both make noises and freak the birds out. I have a very abundant fig tree and the birds stayed away last year. You could also try a bird balloon, but I think the foil and tins work better.

Well, I suppose you could just throw the mesh over the bushes. But I'd recommend you make a frame for it. I always use PVC pipe. It's easy - like playing with Legos. The joints are already square, and unless you need to, you don't have to use cement, so you can disassemble it when you want. Actually, I drill pinholes in mine and connect to a water supply. That way I don't need sprinklers. Use those plastic cable zip-ties to fasten the mesh to the frame. (Jeesh. I sound like Martha Stewart!)

I'm not sure, but I would suggest using Organic Compost, that really is that best. Home Depot has that, Lowes is out of it right now. Organic compost is ideal for berry plants, and also it stops from root rot. Lots of water and sun. I believe it can be done, the bigger the plant, the more chance of it.

These are made out of a felt like material that would break down with time. I would think you would want something that lasts for a long time, plus Blueberries do not like to have their roots dry out which could be a strong possibility with these bags depending on where in the country you are.

I like the trellis netting, it does seem pretty sturdy, and have used mine to trellis peas. I just used old deck lumber and various pieces of wood I had around. Anything will work, you just need to be able to either staple or tie the netting to the posts in order to keep it tight.

It's very clear.....so much per gallon. This stuff is great! All info said nothing could kill raspberry bushes. Brushmaster did last fall. and this year I have very few sprouts.

Didn't work for me in the veg garden. I resorted to using a product called Rabit Scram. It's granuals that you sprinkle around the area you want to protect.

You'll need a different product. Moss-out or something similar - they should have some form of Iron in them.

I used miracle grow potting mix with berry fertilizer. I grew mine in deck rail planters.. Worked great.. watering them every other day and keeping them happy.. I got huge berries.

you need mold and mildew protection .. the new product 303 Fabric Guard provides that protection .. If your cover is vinyl, I would treat it with 303 Fabric Guard first and the protect it with 30313-CSR.

might be a little to small . I use mine to cove blueberry bushes that are four feet tall and about 36" across.

Hello Danny, I am not sure if this brand has it, but amazon sells several multi-sized shrub covers that would work nicely with a small fruit tree. The row cover would work while it was a seeding with tender roots, or would work in definitely with creeping fruit vines. Hope this helps.

If you suspend the net above blueberry plants, deer will not chew through it. The netting is strong enough to deter them. That's the ideal way; create a framework on which to hang and suspend the netting above and around the bushes. If you throw the netting directly over the bushes, you will probably have some animal damage to the plants -- birds who will pick through the netting for available berries and deer who will browse through the netting also. So if you are going to buy netting, spend some money and effort to construct a framework for the netting. An overhead wire a couple of feet above the plants extending down the row works as a support for a canopy-like net drape. If you suspend the net above blueberry plants, deer will not chew through it.

You need to protect them the first year with some kind of cover like hay or other mulch. the second year you can just put some around the base. Blackberries are notoriously hard to kill, so I am hoping these are a little easier to keep tame!

They sell a separate kit called "tree huggers". I use some scraps of carpet. These are to protect the slackline from rough bark as much as to protect the trees.

Pooters sells a cover that works great! I have also used a blueberry cover.

you can use a ground cover,avail thru amazon, to protect it. its a light material that keeps out some pests.

I use my net to cover my blackberry bushes, it has small holes but I don't know if it would keep mosquitoes out.
