Creative bird netting at "The Edge"

Since my last post we have had 23ml of rain - not much in Queensland terms, but very unseasonal and well received by the parched paddocks.  Unfortunately there is not much food for the birds and they have ravaged our olive trees - even taking the kernel out of the olives.  Next was the grape vines, just planted last September and thriving, but welcome food for birds. 

So we had to devise a means of netting our vines which are growing, German style, on posts rather than trellises.  We made two circles out of irrigation pipe and nailed them to the post top and middle and then wrapped the netting around it.

If it is not one element of nature we are fighting, it is another!
