[Growwine] Birds

[Kathryn Hoshkiw-Tombs]

I would assume that you would not have any fruit for several years.  Generally grapes do not produce (or should not produce, cut them off) for approximately two years.  You don't need to worry until then.  Bird netting works well, as do fake eagles that fly like a kite. Most growers use a combination of both.

Greetings!
I am planting my first vines this spring.  What is your advice for bird control?  Should I buy miles of netting?
Thanks,
Michele
