That's a bummer. Sorry. You can try chicken wire.

Build a simple "box" with whatever scrap wood you have available or purchase some inexpensive wood (and screws and power screw driver). Cover it with screen or chicken wire using a staple gun. It's a really simple solution, but very effective. The entire project will take less than 30 minutes.

Put shish kebab sticks sharp side up in your pots. I haven't had a bird assault since I've done that! I also line my growing area with rat traps.

Just cover them with whichever plant has spider mites. That’ll fix your problem....

Cause you’ll be preoccupied with the mites

Instead of screening, you could also use the mesh in which produce is sold. Especially as one moves into spring, birds are a real nusciance. Once more bugs and greenery is available, I find they will usually leave sprouting plants alone.

Blessed are the "cracked" ... for it is they who let in the light.
