Place a ball of aluminum foil on your plants: you eliminate four problems forever.

Anyone who has a small orchard in the rear part of the garden knows the problem: the birds eat all the fruit. So good that there is almost nothing left for us if we do not act quickly. To drive away the birds, hang aluminum strips over the branches of your cherry, plum, peach or pear trees. The sun, which is reflected on the silver side, creates a light that disturbs the birds. This means they do not get closer and leave the fruits alone.

4. Protects the trunk of fruit trees
Not only birds come to use! There are also slugs, snails, ants and rodents. They come not only to snack on the fruits from the trees … … but also of the bushes, such as the raspberries. And I do not even want to speak about the strawberry plants on which they do themselves amicably. To prevent this, wrap the trunk with aluminium foil. So the beetles can no longer climb onto the tree. Why is it so? Because this film is slippery. Besides the metallic taste disturbs snails. So it’s not very decorative, I admit that. But it is effective.
