I really liked the idea of the metal star to scare the birds away. I have a problem with starlings pulling out my onion sets over and over again. As for an economical shaker, you can use the shaker lid off a Parmesan Cheese container on any standard mouth canning jar and the lid seals shut when you are done. I use the shaker on a quart jar to put out salt on icy sidewalks.

I did that to keep my chickens out of my porch flowers and pots. For the time I had them, did not need a doorbell because any visitors let out a scream to announce they've seen one of the fake snakes. 😂 Turns out also, chickens eat snakes.... So it did not work for me.

Another tip for protecting strawberries is to put rocks around that have been painted red. I do this before the strawberries come out. Birds go to the red rocks and find they aren't edible. Then when the strawberries come in they think they're rocks so don't bother them.

Our DT has planters with a handle to hang on a wooden fence or deck. The hanging basket, cocoa, Core liners.are good to put in the bottom of a planter for drainage. The potting soil at DT can be used if you beef it up with some nutrients if in a pinch. The fertilizer sticks are not that bad either

This year the cicadas are hatching down south, with 2 different batches. Those laundry bags are great for the plants. I have used a tomato cage over the plant with the circle part on the ground I bend in the prongs inward or just cut them off and put either the laundry bag or a pillowcase. Make sure you tuck it under the plant pot as well to keep the bugs from penetrating into the plant pot. I had an infestation of these tiny beatles and i had to use the pillowcase to keep them out.

For diatomaceous earth a griiling condement squeeze bottle works well. And always use a mask when using it, as it can be bad for lungs with continued uses. And two small baskets with a small cut out fixed together protects fruit like pineapple etc

I found some nuggets of good information here! Never thought about the laundry bag as pest protection. we’re expecting a hard freeze tonight, and I have a stockpile of the little wire baskets that I use to help protect my plants from getting smashed when I cover with sheets, but it occurred to me that the laundry basket would also work for bigger/taller plants too. They can be pretty flimsy though, but worth a try.

I take blue car towels and put it at the bottom of the planter to keep soil in and allow drainage. Then i put some sponges with the holes in them and put them on top of the towel. I then put the dirt in. The spinges keep in some moisture for the roots to grow towards. Here in NM it got horribly hot last year. You dont want to over water but you want the plants not to dry out either....

Not just for water but also for carting mulch, soil, weeds, whatever you need - for around the garden. The cloche ideas are great as they cost so much in the garden nurseries and catalogs.
