Will this wired mesh bag prevent and / or discourage rats?
While there isn’t one solve all method out there, I have found the wired mesh bags to deter most rats – I have had other gardeners tell me that rats have chewed through their bags!

You can pick much earlier and let it ripen in your house safe and sound.
😊 I'm going to still some of those
That's a beautiful tomato!
Left on the vine to long, it's starting to split/crack from too much water.
The mockingbirds get mine! I will have to try that.
Sorry to say. It didn't work for my grapes. Critters just chewed right through. But that was just me ✌️
Rats are increasing in California since they outlawed decon and similar pesticudes
How cool Kim, I have not heard of wire mesh bags, like little armor for our veggies and fruits. Very cool!
That was a great idea to put the mesh bag around the tomato. 🎉 Hooray! You got a tomato harvest! Looks great too
