Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Years ago, I moved to a very rural location. I became very frustrated with squirrels eating pretty much my entire crop of tomatoes. I decided to relocate my hobby to escape the rodent thieves. I have a perfect exposure behind my store in the city, sun from sunrise till about 3 pm. A tree farming buddy gave me some 15 gal containers and so far so good. Been growing in this location about 5 years now. Nobody bothers them and, since I added the drip irrigation, production is excellent. And NO SQUIRRELS!!;)

You should apply for an urban beautification grant.
Nicely done. |
Lovely! Hopefully all rodents stay away.
(we have lots of urban squirrels and urban hares, too) |
Nice Job!

Looks like a really efficient set up with lots of light! Would love to see more when those plants are full sized and loaded with tomatoes! Congratulations on outwitting those squirrels. :lol:

And they don't even seem to be chained down!
[SIZE=1]S. Carolina? Okay, that makes sense.[/SIZE] |
Nice. Does not look like good squirrel habitat!

Will do around the end of June, early July. That's prime tomato time here in 7b (upstate SC). |

[SIZE=1]S. Carolina? Okay, that makes sense.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] Surprisingly, I have never had a problem with people messing with my stuff. I did have a nice wino come to my back door and politely ask if he could have some tomatoes. I told him to help himself.:cute: I was grateful that he just asked instead of taking them. Small town in the South--- can't beat it. |
Nice place.
