Secrets About Gardening Tools And Equipment
We bought a bunch of these in desperation. Liquid Fence was losing effectiveness and we were losing flowers and vegetables. This product is similar to Wireless Deer Fence but uses a commercial attractant based on acorns dropped on cotton balls which have to be replaced after every rainfall. That wouldn’t be too handy here in New Jersey and I wasn’t so sure about the acorn-based attractant. These Havahart stakes were available at a much lower price and I wanted a lot of them (6 sets). Finally I decided to buy these (on ebay) and order the resin tube attractant from Wireless Deer Fence. The tube-style attractant lasts a month and is not affected by rain. I made a small modification, drilling a hole in the top of each stake to hold the tube.
In use I found the stakes fairly easy to assemble but be careful! The little molded tabs that lock the 2 parts together are small and fragile. I broke one stake trying to straighten it and had to repair it with a pin. If your soil is hard, be sure to loosen it with a trowel before trying to insert the stake.
How well does it work? My wife brushed against one of the stakes and hardly noticed the discharge but I maintain that you should really lick the electrodes to test he effect (haven’t tried this yet). So far there has been very little browsing (though some Hostas were chewed a foot away from one stake). We know that the deer have visited by the droppings but the training effect seems to be holding for now. We have also resumed spraying with another repellent spray. With deer you really never know.
I need the help of creative / inventive / maintenance people...?
Okay - I have two children who are 3 and 1 and I have been looking into playground equipment. I do a lot of gardening / landscaping and I ran across these new ideas for playgrounds - natural playgrounds - where the landscape is used to structure play instead of buying playground equipment. Gardening Tools And Equipment (See this link if you want more info: http://www.whitehutchinson.com/children/playgroundsetc.shtml ) So, my question is, I have an old washing machine in my garage. I was thinking maybe I could use the frame or the tub to brace a tunnel covered by dirt for the kids to climb into and on top of. Obviously I dont want it to look trashy, I think after grass grew over it that it would look fine. However... I am not sure what else I could do. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I am not trying to pollute by burying trash - just trying to use what I have. I own my home, no ordanances to worry about. Thanks for any suggestions. I dont have many tools to manipulate the material.
