Mend holes in fruit cages
KEEP YOUR plastic fruit cage netting for longer by sewing up any holes. It’s a good idea to allow birds to forage for grubs in the cage over winter, but now, as the fruit plants start into growth, you must keep birds out. Check all the netting carefully, as holes can be tricky to spot. Mend any you find using a large needle or net hook and nylon fishing line. Draw the torn faces together and tie them off carefully.
