I wrote earlier in the week about helping my Dad build an enclosure for his new blueberry plants. It’s an 8′x10′x8′ structure assembled from 1×2′s, a couple of 2×4′s, and some chicken wire. We finished everything but the door – I had framed it up, but it needed to be painted, covered with wire, and hung in the frame we set up.
Dad painted it and covered it with chicken wire, and got some hinges to hang it in the door frame. He said it didn’t take much adjustment at all to have it hang correctly – pretty good, considering the ground out at the garden isn’t exactly level, so the enclosure isn’t truly square.
Anyway, he sent out a picture of his “anti-bird machine”, with the note that any ensuing blueberries would probably cost about $125 per pint. Here it is:
All finished, with the door hung.
