I’m rather new here and have run across your previous thread from time to time. Very interesting topics that really interest me. I am going to bookmark this thread but I don’t always look at my bookmarks...out of sight, out of mind.
Do you have a ping list? I would love to be added to it if possible.
I do have a question. I’ve tried growing a garden.(We live in the Phoenix metro area.) Unfortunately, we are inundated with prairie dogs. (I call them gophers!) Broke my heart to see my little eggplants all eaten one morning. They climb over, under and through the fence. Just dug it up and there it sits. Any ideas what to do? There’s nothing like a home grown tomato!
Thanks, granny! Looking forward to reading more.
Glad you are reading the thread, I added your name to the ping list, that I remember to send out when I can.
I honestly don’t have an answer for you.
If you already have a fence up, could you line it with fine chicken wire or old window screen and keep them out?
Try sprinkling ground peppers and garlic around the plants.
Mine here would think the growing garlic was desert.
Check thread one, back not many pages, I posted recently several good ideas that i found for keeping animals out of the garden.
