If your garden costs hundreds of dollars to set up, you're definitely doing it wrong lol

Gardening can be nearly free with the right know-how.

Admittedly my strawberry plant only made 2 strawberries so that part was nearly accurate lol

It really depends where you live. In the sticks, sure, but not in a city where you live in an apartment with a grand total of one (1) window

I mean yeah I think most people understand that gardening requires access to some soil.

But I do most of my gardening in a local community garden so there are options in the city.

we planted ~8 strawberry plants. And when they first started fruiting, the squirrels got the first two. So I put mesh covers over them. But then the bees weren't pollenating them anymore so we just had strawberry flowers, no fruits. So I took the mesh off, and the rabbits/deer ate all the flowers... and the rest of the plants.

You didn't think of maybe using a mesh size that lets through bees, but not squirrels? :D

My garden would give me a huge yeild if I could shoot off some of the deer. Damn pests, almost tame and keep to gardens eating my berries, plants and content of bird feeder. But this being a residential area hunting here is "frowned upon" understandably.

Crossbows can stop deer without all that racket and gunpowder smoke.

Need to hunt down the neighbours first, then nobody can frown upon hunting deer anymore.

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I learned that many states allow you to keep/claim roadkill if you have a tag.

Just saying, if you happen to runover a few deer, its not quite hunting, but your plants are safe and the freezer is full of venison. Win/win.

You’ll want to install a well built brush guard and bumper before attempting this. Also deer fencing is a thing that most people in rural areas resort to for their gardens.

Urine can help drive them off, we used to deal with them always eating mom’s flowers.

This is great news for my four year old son who has just discovered the joy of peeing standing up. And has already done his part in the garden several times :)

Anything can be nearly free with the right knowhow 🤔

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 5 days ago

Just gotta know where to steal it from and how not to get caught!

[-] rayyy@piefed.social 5 points 6 days ago

Key words, "know-how".

[-] Doom@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

That sounds like squirrel talk.

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago

Yeah just use someone else's garden. It's free and already filled with stuff
