In order to prevent the birds from eating the crop before it evens ripens, the grapes have to be covered. Netting the grapes means covering them with long plastic nets in the vineyards. Covering the grapes is a manual, time-consuming, labor-intensive task as the netting needs to be laid in place gently so as not to damage the developing grapes. It has to be secured near the grapevine trunk so that the birds cannot fly up under the net to feast on the grapes. The woven mesh netting will stay in place until the grapes are harvested in the fall. #thursdaythreads #travelthirst #wineryfacts #grapevineyards #autumniscoming🍂 #l4l #otago #southisland #itsallaboutfinesse #likeforlikes #follow #yourheart #nofilter (at Otago) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFDDvFlXCW/?igshid=rn7imts5z9ef
