RE: July Garden Journal Challenge! -CLOSED THANKYOU

Pesky for sure, but I would imagine that most gardeners deal with critters of their own.

Many of the people that I follow from South Africa talk about it being impossible to keep the monkeys out of their gardens.
I would rather deal with the raccoons.

And here, rabbits and blackbirds. And in India, tigers -aaaaahhhhhh. I was just reading @kansuze's post about burying forks in the garden, tine side up, to deter them - have you heard of this trick?

I just recently read an article on the internet which had a dozen or so gardening tips and this one was mentioned.
I thought it was a pretty good idea. I have not tried this . What I thought may work a little better would be using those wooden skewers for grilling. They would disturb the plants a little less when putting them in the ground and they are very sharp.

I wonder if the fork idea would keep the tigers out of the garden?

I think it would, you'd just need really big forks :P and maybe run an electric wire between them....

good idea with the skewers! I've gone for rounds of chicken wire. Doesn't loook tooooo bad actually.

My day, every day:
