I’ve always heard that about under the hood of the truck to keep the mice from chewing the wires. I have had people tell me the mice made nests out of it and still chewed the wires on there vehicles!
Too funny. Maybe it may work with other animals no idea. Sometimes those tips pan out, but yeah a lot of them are bunk as well.
Wires and cars and mice are just something I cannot afford to fuck around in order to find out : ) besides there’s enough people who let there cats roam the mean streets of the foothills hahaha!!!
sounds like my attempt at corn, crows at every damn sprout but one!
I had 4 mice living in my mower air intake this Spring, they had found a roll of cotton twine and used it to build a little home for the Winter. I started the mower and it was smoking like hell. As I was pulling hand fulls of cotton out of the engine the mice were jumping ship, one little dude must have taken the full exhaust because he couldn't walk straight. He sat next to the barn for a couple hours looking really stoned.I’ve always heard that about under the hood of the truck to keep the mice from chewing the wires.

I’ve tried corn every year now for 3 years : ) got the smallest cutest little corn last year. we dont get the best sun and I wasn’t feeding/watering correctly. Not sure if im going to do it this year ( I want to though!)
I imagined this in my head and was dyeing!!!! I can see it starting and smoking and you scratching your head thinking “what the hell?”
then the hand fulls of cotton sorry to laugh but man that is a good garden story! : ) were you able to get your mowing done? With less smoke and critters?
Great post Snappy! Love the format : ) everyone tells me that about the corn haha, now I have to drive some distance to get to corn so having a little patch in the yard garden is fun, really the only reason I do it : ) I feed a lot of stuff to the chickens and make fall corn stalk bundles for the pumpkins on the porch.
I use Gaia 4-4-4 on everything now. Just mixed some in my garden today. But a cpl years ago I was using the fox farm liquid nutrients and added a little bit to one tomato plant and one green bean plant and those two came out better than the rest. I just added like a 1/4 dose maybe 3x throughout the summer. So my answer is yes they will help but I would do a much smaller dose and not nearly as often as you would cannabis.
Awesome setup! What’s the sun like through your patch, I notice you have the large trees! This is my only set back, the sun exposure (lack there of) stuff grows, just doesn’t thrive!
Early morning sun is dappled through the trees but its full sun for at least 10 hours.
I planted some last year right out of my popping corn 100% germination. I read poppoing corn is a different type than the sweet eating corn and thought why not try it. I planted too late but they did pretty good for the time they had. Going to give it a go again this year with a wee patch.
Thats where it’s at! We’re having a bunch of tree work done per the request of the utilities (fighting some of it lol) but should be getting a lot more sun in the near future!
I like my trees but growing bunk gardens for the past few years also has me bitterly sweet excited : )Thats super fun! I know there is a little more to corn than I am putting into it hahaha! But it’s fun!
