way of keeping animals away

[gunsforgrass]

i was browsing other sites and came across this on 420times.com. and im just gonna copy and paste it here for you guys


As a mj farmer for decades, I've tried lots of different methods of keep deer (and other critters) away from pot.
A few weeks ago, my fertile brain came up with the best deterrent.

Cheap and easy--here's how:
-Get a roll of 4' high chicken wire. It come in rolls of 25'--50' at most large harware stores and isn't too expensive.
-Cut 6' lengths, then join the 2 cut ends together with wire, forming a 4' long "tunnel" or tube.
-Spray paint it brown or green (or both, camo style).
-Lay the tubes on their sides. Encircle your plant(s) with these tubes. Secure the chicken wire tubes in place with tent stakes.
That's it!

When a deer steps on this hollow tube and starts putting pressure down on it, the tube starts to collapse and it freaks out the deer.
It also impedes everything else, from bears to mice (although rabitts may dig under it).
It even discourages snails & slugs!

You can flatten these tubes and lash them onto your backpack for transport (at night preferably). I recommend covering them with a trash bag for concealment. Re-form them into tubes when you get to your garden.

if your buying a 25 -50ft roll, save yourself the energy, stick a few stakes in the ground and wrap your 50ft roll fencing around the stakes and you have your fence.

yes that sounds great but wouldnt itr be pretty obvious with a fence around plants in the middle of the woods? lol

[Ganja Guerrilla]

Ah I see, then your not far enough out in the sticks

Its alot easier to spread some moth balls around.

[gunsforgrass]

does that kee;p deer andother mammals and insects away? if so how much are they? and where do you get them?

[Ganja Guerrilla]

yes try moth balls

I have deer all season, Infact they are bedding down in my grow, they never eat my weed, the deer actually seem interested ....where ever I go in the swamp, I see signs next trip that they were there.

scared me first time I went out and saw the grass and weeds all trampled, I thought the man had been there and was setting me up.Then I saw the hoof prints and turds.

Im not saying deer dont eat weed, but I never had an issue with deer

[gunsforgrass]

well actually ill proby do both cause its my first time. but what would be your biggest problem for your crop?

What about going to a hair salon and ask for some hiar trimmings they will usually load you up with all you want...and sprinkle some around your area and plants. The animals smell the human hair and will not go anyware near it...Watch "The Rookie" with Dennis Quade....they did that to the baseball field and it worked....HAHA worth a shot !

[gunsforgrass]

I have used copper wire around the base of my plants to fend off slugs, seems to work quite well. You can just grab any extra wire around the house and tie it around the base so that it touches the ground all the way around. good luck!
