Best blueberry netting

Rkh · Jun 9, 2017

We have a 100' stretch of 10 blueberry plants & currently use the deer netting to cover to keep birds out. It's is a pita to put up, it gets stuck on everything, wire fencing,blueberry plants, etc. What is the best type of netting to use?

Cool the berries just fall down into the netting ! LOL.

I'm in CT, so we have lots of surplus shade netting for growing cigar tobacco. That's what a lot of us use here, you can buy a piece big enough to cover a house for $50 when the tobacco growers get newer netting in. It may have a few rips in it here and there but we just stitch it back up.

Never had a problem with it providing too much shade for the blueberries... Only problem with the stuff is that since it's a tight weave it catches the wind really good like a sail so you have to pull it tight on a frame and make sure it's tied down well.

Good luck
