Jeg kom akkurat over et glimrende forslag til hvordan man kan høste hasselnøtter. Problemet er at når nøttene er modne, er ekornene raskt på pletten og plukker med seg rubbel og bit. Og om man prøver å komme dem i forkjøpet, er sjansen stor for at nøtten inni er liten og puslete selv om skallet tilsier en stor og flott en.
Sitat:
Perhaps recruit the squirrels to harvest the nuts for you. For example, this box was filled with walnuts soon after being installed.
I can't find the photo right now, but one year I inadvertently left a half bushel basket at the base of the walnut tree. It had a gallon pot in it. The squirrels filled the whole thing with nuts. I emptied it, and it got filled twice more. They poke nuts into every cavity in every tree. They poke nuts into every hole in the ground... Upright cinder-blocks laying on the ground are a nut magnet. One gallon pots are highly favored.
There's a project for a permaculture inventor.... Study squirrels, and test designs, and share blueprints for boxes that are irresistible to squirrels as a stash place for nuts. I think that the best designs will have an easy empty feature so that they can be easily robbed.
Det er kanskje litt ufint ovenfor de søte små ekornene da....
