I found a solar electric fence(HD), I have had problems with racoons, as they can dis-assemble any cage, I didn't want to poison em, so this fence when fully charged should deter them I am also adding pred piss Wolve and Mountain Lion, if you use this add it last as you won't want to work after a good whiff, lol.

I skimped this year and reused a length of chicken wire fencing i used the the previous years veggie garden. The fencing had a cpl of small holes I thought I had patched up well. Apparently not, since I just visited my plot of 300+ seedlings I just put in the last cpl weeks and Ive got two small sprouts growing, the rest are eaten or dumped out and dug up! Im fucking irritated beyond measure. Many of these seedlings were the last of certain varieties I had in stock. Im going to the hardware store tonight, and Im buying another roll of chicken wire/fencing. Im going to use three layers of fencing if I have to! whatever i have left, I will use to reinforce the fencing I just laid out. I always bury down about 6-8" of fencing into the earth to keep the little satanic bastards from burrowing into my seedling haven. Im really worried IM getting way too late of a start now, and wont be worth my investment at this point! Ive been planning this grow for the last year, and Im really counting on a nice haul this fall! Its very tedious to keep each variety seperated during germ period, and keep each pot marked individually. I think Im just gna say fuck it and plant whatever i have, without worrying about labeling, and making seeds this season. I need a nice harvest at the end of the season, and the extra time it takes to label and seperate everything may be limiting my already limited free time for planting.. Man im so aggravated. I have taken 3 seasons off now, and Its like im a total noob again. I cant even get a plot of seedlings going without them being eaten. Back to the basics!!!
Wish me luck with this next round, I cant afford to keep feeding the swamp critters my seeds! Any advice or well wishes would be appreciated! Thanks guys |

Planting 200-300 plants at a time, its hard to do each individually. I like to do large outdoor grows, and it would be even more tedious to do each cage perplant. I quadrant off a large diameter circle of cage, and sprout seeds in solo beer cups. Once theyre sexed theyre repotted in large tree pots, smart pots, or go into the ground. Males are move away to their own seperate garden to collect pollen, and observe later in flower.

I've been making cages all summer, for garden plants other than cannabis.
I find the deer are very impressive. If there are plants in an area, like sunflowers, a 4 1/2 foot fence will not stop them. I was thinking about putting up a 6 foot fence and setting up a camera to film their late night high-jumping parties. In the mean-time, I am on my 2nd 100 foot roll of chicken wire mesh. I make rolls and stake those to the ground, so it's about 3 feet high and 18 inches diameter. My 1/2 acre of roses and tomatoes ... most expensive tomatoes EVER - except from the deers' point of view ![]() The deer will stick their heads in and nibble/devour almost everything. It doesn't matter if something is down 2 feet from the top ... they must be hungry. They seem to stay away from "people areas". I have some pot plants in a pool deck area surrounded by a wood fence about 3 1/2 feet high. A total joke, a baby deer could jump that. But the deer haven't touched those plants. |
