Review on Pack of 100 HRX Sheer Organza Bags, 6x9 Inches, White - Ideal for Christmas, Wedding, Shower Party Favors, Gift Drawstring Bags, Large Mesh Jewelry Pouches by Heather Shaw

September 17, 2020 update, harvest time is near. Nurse larvae entered the mesh in about 15% of the harvest, while zippered plastic bags were 100% leak-free. Earwigs penetrate organza and plastic through a hole at the end of the stem and gnaw holes in the ripening fruit. A freshly hatched moth mass on the outside of the bag is attested, so that the butterflies can even find a suitable substrate for egg laying in the organza. Both methods have their drawbacks, so the choice depends on what you are willing to tolerate. These 6 1/2" X 9" bags were used to cover approximately 350 apple and Asian pear fruit to protect them from leaf moth and codling moth damage. For my home garden with three trees, ziplock plastic sandwich bags have proven to be extremely effective over the last few years, mostly with 100% protection against these pests. However, the 30-degree heat and unknown exposure to chemicals from the hot plastic that might seep into the fruit prompted me to look for alternatives. Organza bags are not only an effective way to avoid summer splash schedules, but they are also reusable. They have been exposed to gusty winds, downpours and heat and have held up well. They're as light as plastic bags, and the laces were easy to tighten around the stems for the most part. There were occasional glitches in the sewing that caused some of the bands to not work smoothly, but it was only a few out of 100, which is acceptable to me. I soon learned that others had the idea before me and had great success using organza bags to physically prevent maggots from attacking fruit. It is worth taking the time to protect valuable homemade fruits in order to keep your peace of mind and be rewarded with a harvest of beautiful, delicious and safe fruits.
