Other than a big-ass
fence, any genius ideas? how does
Sepp Holzer keep from having somebodies urinate on his
trees too much? by having
enough trees that they have endless options to choose from, I suppose. But in the
city, we don't like trees. We tolerate a few and then we want big open spaces wiht GRASS in them. So that the poor hound, searhing everywhere for a place to mark, has only a limited buffet of options, and the large number of dogs leads to burning of
roots of many a tree that's not super hardy and capapble of producing no food whatsoever. Like those ornamental pears.
SO--mulch it really high so that any nitrogen that filters down will be a bit diluted? install a
pond around it? a moat? with crocodiles? that
pee moderately? have an ear-splitting shriek at frequenceis only a dog can hear repel them? will
Sepp Holzer bone salve deter the use of the chinquapin as a public bathroom by four-footeds, or only work with
deer? we want squirrels and other little folks to go on contributing nitrogen in smal quantities, but just not to the extent of burning roots. Rocks? I think we're going to basically do a lot of stones on top of the mulch anyway 1) to keep it from flying away and 2) because we're going to use
hay instead of city-recognized mulch and so people will be more inclined to like it visually.
Our budget for this
project is approximately 0. Not to say we couldn't inspire someone to donate funds to have a nice little
fence put up, but it's a longer shot.
The reason they have to go in the park is a long story.
Unless anyone in the Boston area wants to adopt two chinquapins?? Harriet and Ozzie are %100 toilet-trained and never complain or eat off your table. In fact, in a year or two they
should be putting food on it!
