If Fruit protection bags are setup too early when the plant is still in flower, they will prevent pollinators (such as bees) getting to the flowers which will prevent fruit development.

When fruit falls and hits the ground, it’s often damaged, and when fruit falls unnoticed it’s usually attacked by snails overnight as it lays on the ground.These bags are a simple drawstring that allow you to place the fruit in the bag, then tie it up tight so that other animals can't get in to ruin the harvest. Make sure you get the direction right so that the two ends of the drawstring are next to each other.

These figures should be used as a guide only; gardeners should never give up on seeds just because the expected germination window has passed. Ripening, sweet-smelling bunches of grapes attract insects… However, you wouldn’t like to use radical pest control methods? We have already been successful on the market for several years with start-up fruit protection bags. Also make sure that you put the hems on the same side, so that they're nice and neat when you finish the bag. This is because the bags provide an excellent mechanical barrier against pests and do not affect the natural growth of the fruit.

With Anlauf's fruit protection bags, many types of fruit and vegetables can be easily and sustainably protected from birds, wasps and insects. Incidentally, if these bags don’t seem large enough for your requirements, Ryset also makes a 30cm wide x 90cm (1’ x 3’) long sleeve with drawstring ends on each side to cover whole branches, and they also make preformed tree covers 2. Just slip the grapes or other fruit into the open organza bag, pull the satin ribbons from both sides of the drawstring and attach the protective netting (by tying the ribbons into a knot or bow). These fruit mesh barrier bags can effectively protect your fruits and vegetables from insect, birds, squirrels and other pests. Ryset Australia has a range of pest deterrent and bird netting products, including these wonderful Fruit Protection Bags, which I was given by a local garden nursery to review.

I sewed this by hand, making sure that I started with a few good stitches (more than 10) at the very beginning and very end to give extra strength, as this is where the drawstring will exert the most force when you pull it tight. Today, the fine-meshed fabric has an optimized weave density, the bags are robustly made, have durable seams and are very stable, so that the fabric hardly rests on the fruit - at the same time, they offer the greatest possible breathability and allow sunlight to pass through unhindered. I guess nothing is foolproof when you’re dealing with intelligent animals that are capable of learning. Days to maturity is an approximate figure and can vary significantly depending on numerous factors such as weather, soil, climate and the gardening methods used.Durable and reusable, with drawstring that help sealing the open mouth, easy to install, provide a well protection. Design of protection: The fruit protection bags can effectively protect your fruits, flowers, seeds and vegetables from insects, pests, birds and breathe them in the sun. A clear advantage of pouches made of lightweight organza is that they do not burden the branches while being breathable, allowing the fruit to grow healthily without being exposed to lack of sunlight or rotting. They come with a drawstring to firmly tie around the branch, which will also allows you to remove and re-use the bag. The fabric also lets the sun's rays through, allowing the fruit to ripen naturally and achieve its full flavour and aroma.
