Viruses in your vine crops? Beetles in your broccoli? Birds in the blueberries? Tulle could be the row cover you've been looking for.

I've been using it for years on my tomato and cucumber plants—it's effective and it actually looks nice (to me). I bought a bolt of green on EBay for about $14.

I figured it wasn't a new idea, but it sure was new to me!

Do your tomato blooms self-fertilize without pollinators? If so, covering a whole row of tomatoes with tulle sounds a lot easier than bagging blossoms (which I've never done, because OP tomatoes seem to come true from seed pretty reliably without it).
