Good Protection but smaller than last time I bought these

I have used these for a couple of years and they do work great to keep my fruit protected. However, I bought more this year and they are smaller in size than my previous purchase. I have one apple tree with very large apples and these will not work. I can use them on my smaller apples. Just thought I should comment on that change. For the big apples I purchased some woman's nylon socks and don't know if those will be as good, but they look the same. I will have to try them before I can recommend.

Maggot Barrier

Have used these for several years now, all organic, no sprays. Does take a bit of work up front, but worth it in the long run for pesticide free fruit. I use orthodontic elastics to hold the sacks on when I bag the fruit in early spring. I try to use elastics that are UV resistant. Did not have good luck with hair elastics.

Obvious quality control problems

I ordered 300 last year and they worked well. We dipped them in a Kaolin clay solution before using them. I ordered 200 more last week and they came with the toe part all tied up in a knot and long strings hanging from the toe. They are also about 1 1/2' shorter which makes them hard to put on the fruit. They definitely have a problem with quality control this year! I wouldn't recommend until they get the problem fixed.

Expecting them to work great

Expecting them to work great. I won’t be using these until next spring but I do expect they will work better than the pantyhose sections I tried last spring. I suspect the pantyhose weren’t heavy enough because the moths went right through them.
