Spring Green Notes Attract Insect-Eating Birds To Your Garden
Birds add a lot to our lives with their bright flashes of colour and morning song. It is hard to imagine living somewhere the smaller, shrub-living birds are not part of the environment, but sadly this is becoming the norm in many urban areas and large, cleared areas of farmland. Birds need to be considered as essential residents of any organic garden or farm. The robins, wrens, honeyeaters, pardalotes (pictured), willy wagtails, thornbills, flycatchers, warblers and tree-creepers are primarily insect eaters and do an enormous amount of pest control, particularly of aphids, scale, caterpillars and grasshoppers.

Fitted Insect Net For Trees
Protect your fruit from all pests! This round one-piece, dome-shape formed net is designed for covering fruit trees up to 2.5 m tall. The sides overlap 600 mm to provide a door which allows for easy access to your crop. Can be placed directly over a tree, gathered around the trunk and tied closed, or use weights to hold it in place. Longevity of this fabric is increased by placing the net over a frame (star pickets with poly pipe is most common) which gives you the advantage of holding the net off the fruit and foliage, and allows the tree to grow without getting tangled up in the net. This also gives greater protection from birds and flying foxes, and less likelihood of snagging or tearing when installing (as soon as fruit is set) or removing (as soon as the crop is fully harvested). Store clean and out of sunlight to extend its useable life. Top panel is 2.4 m diameter with side panels giving you a 2.89 m total height. Made from the same material as the Vege Net: white, UV-stabilised, woven HDPE 2 mm netting, 45 gsm, 21% shade factor. Used to protect crops from insect infestation, sunburn, birds, pests, and temperature extremes.
