Chicken Wire Crop Cage

A larger version of the chicken wire cloches, designed to cover a whole row or larger plants from munching critters.

Insect & Bird Netting

Our favorite insect row cover. It's also effective for birds; wildlife doesn't get tangled like black bird netting!

Shade Cloth Covers

Use shade cloth during heat waves, or to extend the growing season and grow cool crops during warmer weather.

Frost Cover Fabric

Insulate your garden beds, keep soil warmer, and protect crops from frost damage with frost cloth row covers.

Organza Bag Fruit Covers

Are critters getting your fruit? Try putting these reusable organza bags over individual fruit to block birds and more.

Hand Sprayer

I love this auto hand sprayer! It's ergonomic and a breeze to use. Great for DIY pest soap spray and more.

Castile Soap

Mix 1 Tbsp castile soap per quart of water to make a DIY pest spray for aphids, mealybugs & more.

Gopher Hawk

Say no to bait and poison! It puts all wildlife and pets at risk. Instead, use a quick trap like this.
