I live in HOSITLE territory an lost sooo many to animals last year, (20-25ish).
Cages are manditory where im gurerrilla growing in the prarie IMHO.
Last year was my first attempt at guerrilla growing an I only got 5 to harvest
(an they were just lil clones of the big mamas that got eaten early on).
But i learned what it takes here to keep em alive.
The chicken wire fence, is an art.
I learned you must make your cage go down into the into the hole (2ft)an be wired along the bottom to protect it from gophers an rabbits an burrowing animals. Or they dig right under.
You must wire the top closed or birds an deer will go right in an eat em.
I must also use 1/4 wire cage material to keep out mice or they wont last a week.
I make 2 cylinder cages out of the 1/4 in wire fence, wire the bottoms, make one slip inside the other an it will expand up to protect the plant as it grows.
Illl put up last years video to show you how I do it soon..........
The fox piss, moth balls, hair , cat/ dog shit, piss, ivory soap, ect all failed many attraced animals. THey would be eating it with my plants.
But the Deer repellent with Putrid egg, garlic, an pepper worked pretty dam good, I had plants last several monthes using only it, tell they got eaten. But it could have been luck.
I also must use pesticides (home made garlic an Seven spray) to stop grasshoppers, they will strip medium plant to nothing in a day.
Even in a cage an treated with my pesticide they just eat the stems only.
Whats worked an not worked for yall?
