How to keep the birds off of the tomatoes!




There is nothing more aggravating than to walk outside and see your tomatoes half eaten by the birds!! I have finally figured out a way to keep them off. You can fork out the money and buy some bird netting to lay over your plants.
I found a cheaper, more effective way to keep them off. I went to Michael's and bought some "tulle" used to decorate for weddings etc. I wrapped it around my plants when they looked like they were about to turn red and ripen. The plant can breathe and get sunlight through it as well. I also put up a bird feeder on the other side of my yard to make sure they are eating the seeds instead of my veggies. Working so far! :)
