I’ve found it (my urine) to be fairly effective in repelling varmints, but only very near to where I have, ah, “placed” it. Too much, and the salts can “burn” the plants, though.
I discovered that the “organic” vegetables fertilizer I fed several of my tomato plants with a few days ago unfortunately also encourages raccoons or opossums to dig up some of those plants. I say “some” because plants where I had a Coleus canina plant right beside the tomato plant did not get dug up. I think I’ll put one Coleus canina in a small hanging pot and hang it right beside the single fruit my struggling Opo plant has managed to crank out. Maybe it will keep the squirrels away. (The fruit is about 18” long @ present, so, at least I’ll get “something” harvestable out of that plant, although a “good” fruit will be 2 ft. long or more. I don’t think that’s gonna happen, but, we shall see...
The next 3 days look like real broilers. 97 on Tuesday and a dewpoint around noon of 80 deg. F. Somehow, I think “all progress will be before noon! Yesterday I did a lot of work outside and even avoiding the 3 pm to 6 pm time slot, I drank some sort of record for me (I think), of ice water and my lemonade-Gatorade mix.
I DO have a lot of paperwork to take care of the next couple days...
Well, if you drink gatoraid, your urine probably has ELECTROLYTES! (like Brawndo).
