Hi there guys and welcome to Huw's Nursery. Now, I'm really sorry with the wind, but it
doesn't look like it's going to improve. So in this video, I'll be showing you how to
protect your strawberry patch from being eaten by some birds. Now in a video a bit earlier
on, I showed you how to protect your strawberries from rotting on the ground with some hay.
So first off we're just using some general water pipe here, it's about an inch in diameter,
and basically what you need , the bed is 4 foot in width, so you want your bit of pipe
to be double it, and for this, it's going to be 8 foot in width. So, next thing, you
need either use a stick or something like this, and just go along, making holes. One,
one on each side, and then two half way. After you've done that, you get your pipe, and put
it in the hole like that, and like that. Now, it's time to move on to the next step.
So hey, we've finished. So basically what you needed to get, a heavy duty stapler and
just staple across here. Make sure it's quite nice and firm. It's seemed to slackened off
a bit now but that's fine. So the strawberries are all beginning to ripen. Now this is in
a few days' time when I did the other part of the video, I forgot to mention it. So,
just go round, stapling those one two three sides, but you don't staple this side because
you want to get in and grab the strawberries. So, for this you might be wondering how do
you get in. Well you get this bit of wood, then you uncoil it, like that, then you grab
in, get your strawberries, and place it back. So it's a very cheap and simple and effective
way of getting to your strawberries and protecting them from your birds. So I hope this has inspired
you to protect them please do it right now it's the best. Even before because this video
is a bit late. And I will hopefully do a video soon about harvesting them and maybe making
smoothies. So, yeah, stay tuned for that. So thank you very much for watching and I
will see you again soon, goodbye.
