[GEMiNi GENETiCS]

Not sure if anyone tries/tried this yet but this is what I'm doing .... All my container plants will have a 18"tall dome of 1"chicken wire stapled around the container .... Zip tied together and have a few pieces cut and pointed outward to poke nosy animals ..... My plants in the ground I'm going to have the same style dome but use extra chic wire to wrap the chicken wire around the root ball as well and fill in the hole ..... Hopefully adds some stability to the cage and would prevent some damage if animals try to dig up the young plants .... I'll post pics when I got em.

All cages will be stapled to 3 wooden/bamboo stakes for added support ....

Chicken wire .... Toss into fire to remove shine .... Stealthy ....

And easier than painting ... Plus it won't flake OFF after a season or bending twisting movement .....


.....For rats try getting very fine steel mesh and make a ring ... Bury it atleast 4" to prevent them from slipping under .... Add double sided gorilla tape around to prevent climbing up and over the ring

I stocked up on these bad boys as well, I'm hoping the plastic isnt thin enough to be chewed through though. That's my only worry here.

The green will blend in like a charm. Anyone used these fences before and had any problems with durability issues?

I am new to the forums here, a former clandestine backyard grower and now an outdoor OMMP grower in central Oregon. Believe it or not my biggest worry and most successful stash thief is the pesky scrub jay. Through trial and error and having learned the hard way my setup is pretty simple, reliable and affordable.
I cement 12ft. pressure treated 2x4s spray painted black into the ground and then create a completely covered space with orchard netting. The netting is stapled to the wood and then I use softball sized rocks to anchor the netting to the ground. I use a lot of rocks and leave no gaps large enough for marauding ground squirrels aka gray diggers to enter and pillage. The simple framework also enables me to throw over frost cloth if temperatures drop too low for too long in October. Happy growing!

I like the netting homie. How many plants can you grow in Oregon? I'm moving to Mt. Hood this yr

[Chronichiwa]

An OMMP grower can have up to and no more than 4 patients, 18 seedlings per patient and 6 'mature' plants per patient. Here is the OMMP handbook: https://public.health.oregon.gov/Dise...mpHandbook.pdf

If you have an archery shop by you there is many kinds of animal urines that are very effective. I piss by mine every time I'm outside. I haven't had any issues with wild life yet. I also have two dogs that chase everything that moves. I'm sure they deserve a lot of the credit.

nylon mesh is easier to transport than wire. and you can take 2-3 plastic transparent pint glasses, stack them and glue them together by melting abit with a lighter, it makes a mini protective greenhouse in it.
