I started protecting my fruit from the birds with organanza bags since last year and it worked. The birds the not longer eating my fruit.

Nice color bags, too. What size of the bags do you use for these apriums?

Organza did not scratch the fruit?
I was thinking green organza. Blend with leaves maybe. Afraid with stonefruit that it might be scratchy

Organza bags do not scratch fruit but it does not protect against moths laying egg through the material. OFM and PC did that to my organza bags. Also, it does not protect against squirrels or other rodents taking fruit with bags and all.

To protect against birds, best avoid red bags. Organza bags come in all kinds of colors. They are used for party favors but we, the clever gardeners, have better ideas for them.

I have used what I call BroGanza (synthetic screen) on a limited bases with fair results. If the bags have good air exchange they should work. My attempts were only to get a few to eat fresh.

broganza? for growing broganic crops? approved by princess leia brogana?

thanks for the tip, aub. what bag sizes have you found useful?

I like the large bags. They slip over the side canes of PAF easily.

BroGanza Bags Pictures!

What to do with leftover pieces of screen. These are easy and quick to make but will they get the job done? Screen blocks some of the sunlight and I wanted to see if I could harvest a few PAF blackberries from my primacanes. The sun simply bakes them on the vine. We shall see. I thought you would get a chuckle out of the bag name. [image] [image]

coolio, aub. would 10" x 12" be sufficient?

and. . . “OGANZA BISASA.”

Yes. It should be ok.
