They Said It Couldn’t Be Done!

Or was it, “It Shouldn’t Be Done” or “Never Ever Should It Be Done!”? After having lost over half of my harvest these past two years due to critters of all shapes and sizes, I did the unthinkable and had two wonderful volunteers in my Tarabrook Elders Success Team bag over 90% of each cluster of grapes! (see photos) The result? I over doubled my harvest! My vineyard physical make up doesn’t lend itself to setting up an electric fence. I tried that 5 years ago with very limited success. Yes, I do have anti-peck proof netting on each side of each row but STILL I lost over half my crop these past two years. Send me an email at aewpence@comcast.net and I’d be happy to talk to you about it.
