So, I am planning out my vegetable garden and will be developing the beds until planting season. This year I had good results from my herb garden, and I would like to add vegetables to my selection. I have pecan trees that the squirrels ransack, and I will be getting a nifty air gun to take care of those muthas. :innocent:
However, I live in a neighborhood of retired people. And apparently retired people LOVE birds. Every friggin house surrounding me has at minimum 3 bird feeders, and several bird houses. I have heard all sorts of ideas about repelling birds, and wanted to know if anyone out there had tried anything that actually worked. I am thinking of getting one of those plastic owls, and moving it around. I also read somewhere that I should hang some red plastic Christmas ornaments around, if I am planting tomatoes, to get them trained not to go for them.
I know I can put bird netting over everything, but that seems like such a PITA.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Advise?
Any and all is appreciated.
