Hi, have a new garden bed that is plentiful of worms. How do I keep the birds out of it. House is for sale so don't want to cover it but is there a product I can sprinkle or spay to keep them from digging it up and making such a mess? Thank you

You may get told off like I did when I wanted to stop worms making my lawn an unsightly mess. Worms have many friends. Good luck.

I think OP is wanting to stop the birds digging out the soil whilst digging for worms. Not wanting to kill worms.

OP would not a quick sweep before showing be simpler? Most folk know the mess birds make. If they want the house, a little out of place dirt around the garden beds sing going to deter them.

I have a friend who had this problem, she got green plastic netting not the small mesh and placed it over the garden the plants covered it but the birds couldn't get at worms.It worked
