Strawberry Guard.
Now that the strawberry season is approaching, the serious question arises how to protect the fruit from birds. String netting is often resorted to, but is seldom effective. For small patches wire frames are most effective and convenient. .Make a frame of No. 8 galvanised wire, and cover this with J-inch wire netting, making the top part movable for getting the fruit. These can be made in six
feet lengths or longer; the height of the guard should 'be about 12 inches and the width 2 to 3 feet, according to the size of beds.
