Тhat thing or similar:)How do you call these?They destroyed about 40 chickens on our neighbors few years ago.By that time granny has two dogs and she was keeping her chickens in closed rooms so they survived......By the way they look cute:)
Hey LD thanks for joining in mate good looking start you got there , so glad you made into the back yard welcome anytime. Don’t be a stranger my gate is always open . Od .Heres What i just built the other day, 2x4 boxes above ground, cut an 8foot post into 2foot sections burry that a foot deep, Screwed 2 6" patio deck boards to the posts on each side building a 1 foot wall.
lined that with heavy duty fabric to stop weeds ect ect, soil, then perilite, then azomite, then compost, mix, more perlite, rinse repeat till full. Took about 2 bags of soil 4 cu ft + 80lbs of compost + a bag of hummus manure.
Then I dumped a 5 gallon mix of fish emulsions and mycorhizz fungi root stuff whatever that shits called.. Figure it can't hurt right?
hey i wanted to ask what is that medium and you grow these cocombers in jars?!Everything looks very healthy!instant cofee,is that it on the surface?!Thats new!they doesnt look like they dont like it?!:)Thought I'd drop in and show my valient effort to grow something besides cannabis in an apartment environment plagued with squirrels, pigeons, and bugs...
Just some baby lettuce, cucumbers and peppers.

I just picked up a 14x14' net to hang around my patio area to block the birds and squirrels from the spot once and for all. They were daily digging them up so i used coffee filters and lined the top of the soil then poured instant coffee over the top and watered. It has created a sort of coffee shell and the digging issue hasnt come back...

but I do still have some bugs munching pretty heavy on the peppers top leaves... They seem to be doing okay regardless but it is getting worse...
Got my first few peppers coming in tho!
Pretty sure im doing it all wrong, but Mother Nature and I seem to have an understanding
Yes i ripped coffee filters to fit around the stock of the plant over the Miracle Grow Moisture Control soil, then just pour enough instant coffee to cover the surface lightly then water. The coffee is actually good for the soil, and squirrels absolutely hate the smell of it so wont dig it. The layer of instant coffee hardens on the filter making it even more dig resistant while still breathable and waterable. The cucumbers are in giant cheese ball containers... We like cheese balls... Theyre cheap and tasty and the container is sturdy and large. I worried about them being clear but i havent noticed any issues from it. The peppers halloween buckets are semi clear and glow in the darkhey i wanted to ask what is that medium and you grow these cocombers in jars?!Everything looks very healthy!instant cofee,is that it on the surface?!Thats new!they doesnt look like they dont like it?!:)
I wonder if that will work against cats?!:)i have few cats here,sometimes they also dig in my bigger pots(where they can step and sit) and pee in them,that is something i really hate!!!!:DI leave big stones on the surface to prevent that,but sometimes doesnt help.I will remember that one to try!Yes i ripped coffee filters to fit around the stock of the plant over the Miracle Grow Moisture Control soil, then just pour enough instant coffee to cover the surface lightly then water.
