Sparrow proofing the carrots.

We have some very rascally sparrows in the garden at Bayview Kindergarten. So......we need to 'sparrow proof' some parts of the garden from them. Our sparrow friends: Billy, Bobby, Betty, Brucey, Barbie, Bevvy, Bryan, Butterfingers, to name a few of the whanau, love to eat the new lettuce plants and the delicious tops of the baby carrots that have just come up. We have discovered that if we put a netting over the garden the little rascals can't get to out veges. :) This week we erected netting over the part of the garden where we sowed carrot seeds two weeks ago. Fingers crossed it is successful. Those naughty snails eat them too - but we fix them with special TUI Quash snail food.
