hi so today im gonna go to my only plant and hope that the past couple days its been raining it survived but anyway will this work?
fishing line 2 - 3 feet above ground around plant my urine ive been saving for awhile it stinks very very bad lol spread all around
rocks around the plant stem (to keep little animals from digging up the soil which is how i lost pretty much all my plants so far this year ugh..
and ofcourse the shotgun animal repellent which probably dosent work but its something extra anyway..
and i have scotts blood meal which i read keeps animals away??? its a nitrogen nute so im not looking at using it just speading around the area?
will all this work???? to keep animals away?
my main concern is these bloody animals
sun and location is good i have neem oil for pests etc etc.. its just these animals cant eat some other herb around i mean damn its the woods lol

okay so i went today and damn was i just in time another day it would have probably been dead! a hole was dug up but the plant was fine the main root was fine.. so anyway yeah im really glad for that i set up fishing line and my urine and shotgun and i put rocks right around the root and on the soil so it looks really good and professional lol
and my plant looks alright too although i didnt pick the best spot for lighting cuz the vegetation keeps getting thicker and thicker and less light is getting to it but it still gets some direct sunlight a day im saving the best spots for my onyx that should arrive next tuesday woohoo

You have my utmost sympathy, SalviaNshrooms9090. Fuckin' animals are the bane of the outdoor guerilla gardener, but it sounds like you're doing all of what can be done at the mo. I know of some deer repellant that is useful in my neighbourhood, but not sure about yours...
Are you in a place that you can use a /real/ shotgun, if necessary?
