GreenGalaxyFarm Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 ok so dogs going after nutes, cats going after leaves is the theory. i can raise the plants on 3 or 4 tyres to solve the dog issue, and even if they eat some leaves ill consider it lollipopping. now to keep the cats of the tyres? bird spikes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bos Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Are you 100% sure its a mammalian... Large grasshoppers/locusts can do some serious damage. I've had medium sized plants in 20lt pots stripped of 70% foliage in the course of 2 days(locust). Certain butterfly larvae(worms) can also do a lot of damage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weskush Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Ive had an evil little garden gnome with a small black cloak destroying my plants a couple of seasons ago. Tracked his miniature footsteps all the way to his hideout. Baited him with a fresh nugget and keeping him now as a repellant in my garden. He gets free herb and keeps all the intruders at bay especially the bloody muskeljatkatte. Handy little fucker he is. I named him Mr Pickles. Hows that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
