We have raccoons around us, but the only crop they have bothered enough to
notice was when we still grew sweet corn. The only problem we have with
grapes is birds as they ripen.

Subject: [NAFEX] muslim bags for grapes?
I would like to attempt to protect my baby grapes from raccoons and
other predators. Since I've never had grapes before, and no one near
me seems to grow them, the locals don't yet know what they are - or
so I hope. I was wondering if hiding them in a cloth bag, or some
other barrier, might be effective.
Any suggestions welcome. Any source of bags also welcome.
