Last Year's Garden

Just putting pics up of my spot last year and the damage the raccoons did to my corn. My corn is actually outside the white fence that you see behind my main garden.

Very nice John.

Two bandits in the cage?

There ended up being 3 by the end and I never got the mom. I will this year, plus I'm going to try an electric fence once my corn starts making ears.

I have been putting a radio in the corn patch tuned to the hardrock station. It seems to keep the skunks and raccoons out. (That kind of noise would keep anything away!)

I had my chicken coop next to my garden I guess they liked chicken more than my garden I ended up catching 2. I haven't seen any since but got this little stinker today.[img]https://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj163/hunt-john/gardening/P1000163.jpg[/img]

I had read about putting a radio out there. I just haven't tracked down a cheap water proof one yet, well actually haven't looked since last year.
