Title: Re: [NAFEX] Blueberry cages
That's what's known as shade cloth.  It is UV stabilized.  Ginseng usually grows in the forest and needs shade, so commercial growers grow it under shade cloth to get the same effect.  Shade cloth might keep birds off, but complete coverage would shade the berries a lot.  At very least, they would be slow to ripen.

I have seen crop covers used on ginger.  Acres and acres of it.  It must be cheap, but it does reduce sun, as this plant requires less intense sun.
