1. Guard the results of your work.
Supplies required: Ziploc bags
The cost to make 36-pack gallon bags is $4.99*.
Fruit that has ripened attracts caterpillars and other insects, so it can be challenging to prevent those annoying little pests from destroying your fruit harvests. Of course, you could always use a chemical spray, but there are a million good reasons not to. After all, chemical sprays are still chemicals.
Safeguard Your Hard Work’s Fruits
Using Ziploc bags will allow you to preserve your fruit without the use of chemicals. When the fruit is set, slide a Ziploc bag over it. Leave the Ziploc bag alone, sealing it as tightly as you can around the stem. You will be able to harvest your fruit, free of defects and bugs, once it is mature.
