Protecting Young Trees From Rabbits and Mice
Cylinders of woven wire netting provide protection for young trees against rabbits, using one-inch poultry netting of No. 20 galvanized wire. Rolls 18 inches wide suit cottontails, cut into one-foot lengths, then formed into trunks shields and fastened. Guards stay until protection ends, and can shield from mice by finer mesh or ground pressing, though wooden guards draw pests and are labor intensive to remove.
Spray for Currants Against Aphids
To control aphids on currants prepare a spray by dissolving a one inch cube of laundry soap in a gallon of water and add a teaspoon of 40 percent nicotine sulphate. Apply as soon as leaves unfold and wet the undersides thoroughly. Do not wait for curling or reddening. Reapply in ten days to two weeks.
