This is my second year with these strawberries, last year didn't have many, this year looks like alot if the birds quit eating on them.
Any one have a suggestion? I have some row cover but it is for covering plants if there is a frost. Could I use that? It would block some sun.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Vicki

There is netting made to deter birds. It doesn't block the light.

I put the netting over low stakes so that the birds can't just peck through the holes.

Thank you for the information. I'll try and find some. We live in a small town and usually have to order things.

Thanks again,
Vicki

I've used bird netting with success.
Be sure to hold the edges down or they will sneak under it.
