VASCM: Keeping Fruit Flies Out of Macro Bins During Ferment

[John Schumacher]

Simplest form is large rubber bands for moving furniture purchased at any U
haul or moving truck rental place in conjunction with plastic pallet covers
that are available through U-line packing supplies.  I have purchased them
by the roll, if you only need a few, your welcome to stop by my place and
get some.

A PVC frame for the netting is also simple and cheap.
