mr_cramalldees posted:I had that experience with mint (it took over my entire back yard, yard mowing became a chore as the minty sensation became so strong it would reduce me to tears) and now I'm super gunshy. Just do a little research first. Most herbs don't pull that poo poo, but anything mint-related will.

Gardening is fun and good. In addition to pretty flowers and fresh veggies, you can easily sow some regular organic poppy seeds normally used for baking, which grow into opium poppies. The fruit of life comes in many forms...

trying to grow things out of doors has taught me that nature is cruel and heartless and will kill things for no reason. the scythe of death spares no sprout. bugs will eat what the squirrels don't destroy and they will laugh at me i hear them even now... away! away! no!!!!

Raise beds, line them, put transparent netting over the top and you'll take care of most pests.

Squirrels got after my tomatoes a few years back. Fuckers would pull a beefsteak off each day, take one bite, then leave it in the driveway to rot. Now I have a two stage fence with a DMZ.

ghlbtsk posted:I did a lot of research after they razed all my hard work to the ground and meticulously planted things deer don't like. This is the problem I have right now. The previous owner of my house put out salt licks for these stupid fucks and now they won't go away. I put out a planter full of tulips and some friggin jerk just ate one, tore the rest out and left them in the front walk way. Plus I guess if they nibble off the arbor vitae buds they basically just don't grow for the year?? I have to spend a few hundred bucks on mature trees now so I hope deer go extinct. Also I keep getting shots on this groundhog idiot but I have iron sights on the AR and he's just out of the range I can reliably hit things at. I'll get that fucker though. He'll get his. Little bitch.

squirrel trap that my neighbor uses: fill a barrel halfway with water and cover the surface with apples then put several boards/ramps leading up to it, wait for the squirrels to jump in and drown i do not do this because they never really wreck my stuff but my neighbor is hardcore and salt of the earth so its always interesting to talk with him about his gardening strategies

Hello from UK zone 8b, her's the perennial border I made out of rubbish. Has anyone had luck with milk as a powdery mildew remedy? Also thinking of making a gravity fed irrigation system from a brewing bucket since the soil is so shallow.

If you have deers the only thing that helps is a six foot fence. They can make it over the fence but they have to try really hard and instead of doing that they just go gently caress up a neighbor's yard The squirrels around here don't eat tomatoes
