The name Eat MY Shrubs came from the idea that we can plant beautiful gardens that are also edible! Growing food does not have to be in a rectangular garden. Because the best gardens are polycultures. Some plants may only be there to benefit the plants that we want to eat. They may attract beneficial insects, or fool herbaceous animals away from the plant we actually want to eat. This can be achieved without the use of chemicals and practices that destroy the delicate balance of soil life.
Hence the tagline, “Not only are they beautiful, you can Eat MY Shrubs”

Hi Roberta.
Netting is tough for sure. I have seen people use reflective things like old cds in trees. Something reflective that will catch the sun may work. Also, what about a decoy bird of prey? The squirrels may figure it out eventually but if you move it around it may deter enough of them that you can get a harvest also. Good luck.
Hello,
I have a cherry bush that gets stripped every year by birds and squirrels. I don’t mind sharing, but would like to keep some for human consumption. Initially I was going to drape the bush with protective mesh, but learned that birds can get caught in it and die. Have heard tightly netted frames recommended, but because the bush is in a permaculture garden, there is no way to build a frame of any shape around the bush. Now I’m thinking that net bags might be a good solution, but don’t know, and haven’t been able to find a source in Calgary. Would you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Roberta
