Protecting Your Plants From Pests Like Birds, Rats, and Squirrels - The Vertebrate Pests
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2021
- There are a variety of treatments available to deal with bugs in your garden (also known as invertebrate pests). Today I want to focus on how to deal with the creatures that like to nibble on your crops before you get a chance to harvest them.
The only way to truly stop vertebrate pests is by creating a physical barrier. This is something that you really want to consider before you plant your garden. When creatures are munching on your garden, every minute counts to preserve as much of your crop as you can, so it’s best to get protection systems in place (or ready to go) early on.
Watch to find out which products and systems I recommend to keep birds, rats, squirrels, and mice out of your vegetable patch. And, take a closer look at my garden enclosure.

Basic rule of thumb is if an animal can get their head through a hole, they can squeeze the rest of the way in too, especially mice and rats.
SO GLAD I found your video. Seriously thank you. On year three of gardening and this year I’m taking it to a whole new level, especially when it comes to these pests. I’m definitely going to be using the 1/4” hardware cloth you suggested (building a PVC pipe structure and zipping this hardware cloth on all sides) as nothing else has worked. Hoping I can even make a door. I would not have known about the hardware cloth if it wasn’t for stumbling on YOUR video (after lots of research too). So again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 🙏🏼

Nice video. Thank you so much Sarah
Your videos is soo well edited. Thanks and congrats, Sarah 💙💙🇧🇷
Thank you so much!!
Great solutions. Thanks
Some great ideas Sarah to keep the pests out. One of the problems we have in Australia is possums and bats they eat our peach tree and nectarine tree very annoying. But we do what we can to protect our fruit and vegetables. I do like your setup it looks great. I see Rooney was only interested in one thing a green ball. Sorry for running behind feedbacks thank you for all your reply’s Sarah.
Thanks for sharing.
Great idea about the enclosure. I also am backed up to an alley and deal with skunks, squirrels, and rats.
Good luck with all those critters!
Thats fantastic
very interesting, thank you!
My pleasure!
Excellent caged in enclosure. Dang those squirrels lol
Thanks. If you have any plans on how to build the garden deck, I’m into it!
Nice video. :) You clearly love gardening which is great! But when I retire I'm going to live in a gardenless apartment because I'm very lazy.
I know they're detrimental to a garden but, squirrels and bunnies are so cute. 😁🐿🐇 I'm moving from Illinois to Florida in June . Watching these videos inspired me to take up gardening as a hobby and look forward to gardening tips on upcoming videos.
Lovely! So glad that you are inspired! Good luck in the garden this spring!

I’m so chuffed you have a channel and you share your passion of gardening with us! I thought I recognised you and from your 30 things vid I realised it’s from watching I.S.O.Y.G like years ago, that movie has haunted me since but you’re a fantastic actress!
Oh thank you so much! Now you know about my other passion! Welcome to the channel :)
I never use netting, once you witness a small animal tangled, choking from trying to get out is both traumatic for the critter and terrible to witness. Hardware cloth is best. Still lets your polinators in. Netting isn't humane as far as i feel.
Can pollenators like birds, bees and butterflies get into your enclosure?
i have a story for u to solve,,,i had a large planter i put my grown seedlings,,it was beautiful,,i was excited to watch them grow,,i even started lavender,,so about 3 am i woke up and checked the planter,,all was ok,,went back to bed,,awake at 5 checked my planter,,WOW,,IT WAS TOTALLY EATEN UP ALL THE PLANTS WERE GONE AND A LARGE MESS OF SOIL WAS SPREAD ALL OVER THE STAIR WELL AND AROUND THE PLANTER,,I WAS SICK,,ALL I DID TO GET THEM TO GERMINATE,,,GONE,, ok now i have a mess of birds that hide in the car port,,so i blamed them,,cussed them out,,later that day i was looking outside and there it was a blinking rabbit,,now that wasent enough he or she had a few rabbits along with her,,holy shit i said ,,i wanted to scream,,but i didnt,,,now my question is what one did the mess to my planted flowers? birds or rabbits??,,thank u for your show i liked it,,;),,p,s, please answer for me,,thank u ;)

Hi Sarah, very inspiring as usual. I wish I had a proper backyard like you do. However, my plants are very limited around my apartment and the building it's located in. I'd just like to add that you're truly an amazingly positive, upbeat and greatly leading lady when it comes to helpful ideas for the rest of us generally. Can you please reply asap and also let me know when you're next film will be out? I messaged you on instagram to find out if you might be promoting it out in Australia, would be great to meet up one of these years, lol lol, might be a few due to the massive "no thanks to Trump" travel restrictions from America too, well, ha ha, the rest of the world, no bother if you're not able to provide a time frame, just be safe and healthy and keep up the most awesome work. Cheers, and if I ever save up enough money I will build a miniature version of your most super cool, "geeky" garden girl type garden inside my apartment and get an enclosure to stop my co tenant's cat from ripping the branches down, be well as always, Chris.
I'm here 🧡🧡🧡💚💚💚 Sarah 🥰🥰🥰

I have a Question for You,
When Plants Grow, How do they ' Gain ' their Mass?!
1. From the Atmosphere.
2. From the Soil.
3. Both of them.
4. None of the Above.
If possible, Please Explain Your Answer!!
I have my reply, but I want to hear yours!
@@HollywoodVines
Actually the third option is correct, but majority of the mass comes from the ' Atmosphere '.
Explanation:
Plants get water from the ground and absorb Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Then in the Presence of Sunlight these two compounds react.
Because of this reaction we get another Compound.
This third compound is the main Reason of their mass.
Trees get Sodium, Potassium and few other elements from the Soil,
But most of the mass comes from the Atmosphere.
Veritasium has made an awesome video about this topic.

How often do squirrels attack the plants? They are so cute! I wish we have them here in the city area 😂😂😂
Oh gosh... 🤦🏽♀️ I suppose if you aren’t used to them they could be cute. I used to see people photographing squirrels in Central Park on my walk to work when I lived in NYC, and I could never understand it. They are EVERYWHERE in the US, and the first time you see one carrying away your prized heirloom tomato, you may change your opinion of them quick!
@@HollywoodVines Now ya making me imagine one scurrying away with 2 arms carrying a tomato 🍅 over its head 😂
Have you ever seen the squirrels invaded the garden they picked the fruit and bites it just bites do not eat put it away then pick another one do the same thing until no fruit left on the trees that is why we do not welcome them.
Ok miss Hiells .. I wish see U in Scream 5 movie play Sidney prescott's sister who is a savage killer at the End movie .. the movie will be great If that happen I wish ..... from Jordan to US with love miss Hiells
That would be awesome! I love the Scream franchise!
@@HollywoodVines Oh yeah that will be greatest movie special with neve campbell ❤❤❤
@@kristineizar498 actually Scream movie is Icon exceptional horror movie but I think will be more and more exceptional If our actress S.Butler ❤❤ work with them
Oh yeah i know so awesome, I love the screaming movies! Love from Philippines
I'm your fucking biggest fan
I hope you will notice and do video greet to me❤️ Keep safe!📌

Pests or vermin or varmints.
Here’s a solution - eat the squirrels! And rats for that matter!
Do not romanticize the issue. Go to the point where those cute animals MUST stay out of out garden.
