First i dont know if this question belongs in this forum but it was the closest i could find.?
I am growing Afghan-kush,g-13and White Widow which all are approxmemtly 2 months old in and open caged area,some our in buckets and alot of the g-13 is planted in the ground.
My PROBLEM:Groundhogs.I luv wildlife but when it comes to my plants thats a differnt story.It seems i have at least 3 groundhogs within a 5 acre area.My plants are all caged in because we have horses and they cannot harm them because of distance but these groundhogs seem to come and bite usually just the top off.Yesterday he bit the top off my best Kush in a bucket.
I have tried a mixuture of pure peppermint oil which there allergic too along with cajun red pepper and water then i soak socks with it and hang it from buckets,putting the stuff in there holes etc,foot traps which they seem to step around even know there hidden and i was once an avid trapper so i am getting discoaraged this hasnt worked.Also have used bleach,pouring urine all around perimiter,etc.Pouring peppermint mix all around perimiter,etc.
What sucks is i am a cardholder but my father isnt keen on me growing in his house which i will be here till i decide to rent/buy but hes up in age and needs help but my moms has noproblem with it.So i see myself movin soon because i can do it legally as i am a cardholder and inside is the way to go and i got all the quip i need to get rollin.
sorry post so long.Anyone got anything that might help.??Any suggestions appreciated-J420

..Cover the holes you can find and run a waterhose down one of the holes and flood em out. If you want to keep them alove put a cage above one hole and when the water flls..well they'll cage themselves. Or if you want to axe the lil guys cover all the holes. Just a thought, I flood, cage then release in the wild. Almost every year I do this at my grandmas house.
