Lyle,
Thanks for that, I will try them on my grapes. Do you use the 100% cotton, or less expensive cotton blend bags?

This past season, I bagged plums with cloth draw string bags. I was
pleased with results but we had a cool, wet summer so maybe the
result would be different in a more normal season. I plan to do some
again this coming season.
I have bagged grapes with cloth draw string bags for 3 seasons on
three different varieties and am very please with that. Besides the
grape bunches being full and without insect damage, the bagged
grapes remain in good condition, actual becoming sweeter well beyond
the grape season. The first year I accidently overlooked three bags.
I found one of these bags about a month after the season, in about
mid October and the other two in mid November. They were in good
shaped and tasted so good, now deliberately leave bags for later
fresh eating and grazing. I purchased these small draw string (parts
bags) from a Uline Company catalog.
