I will try that in my High Fence garden. I may have room in there as the rabbits are creating havoc. It is high fenced because the deer eat everything.

I am currently on my second set of red raspberries. I have mine in containers with BM soil, if you are familiar with the BM products. I mix my soil about 40% compost and 60% BM soil. I use a moisture meter but I'm slowly loosing the fight again. By the moister meter I maintain but... That meter is over the board and my raspberries may need more, or less. I check every container in my greenhouse and water where needed every morning. This is the first year for my greenhouse and since it was ready for the plastic in late May, I opted to omit the plastic over the summer and put shade screen on the greenhouse instead. This is central Texas and we have had 100+ for 3 weeks with 106 for this coming weekend. No rain for over a months and none in store. I fertilize sparingly but don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have the same problem with my tomatoes and marigolds. My peppers , corn, basil, okra and bush beans are all doing fine. Everything has the same soil and same watering method. Any comments or thoughts are appreciated.

For regular Potato Salad, I boil my potatoes peel and dice, Add chopped boiled eggs, finely chopped sour pickles, finely chopped onions mayo and mustard 50/50 approx. Salt and Pepper to taste. I then take an old fashioned hand held masher and mash everything to a smaller  consistency but not too mushy. Taste and add whatever for taste, More mayo, more mustard, more salt and pepper, maybe a little sour pickle juice if too dry.

If I'm doing German, I do everything the same up to doing the potatoes. I fry and crumble up 3-4 strips of bacon along with the eggs, onions and sour pickles. I then put 1 part water to 2 parts apple cider vinegar in a small sauce pan, along with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of bacon grease. bring to a boiled and remove from heat. Pour hot mixture over potatoes and other ingredients. stir and serve hot, or place in frig to cool and serve. No mayo or mustard go into German,

All these posts and many reference the use of the same plants. My question, Do you buy rabbit pellets at all or all natural. I've had rabbits in the past and have considered them again but worry about the supply chain.

I had the same problem but spent a little more and got a gas Chipper/ shredder. Since I have a lot of trees and was burning branches I figured the chipper/ shredder would be the way to go It works great on cardboard and limbs up to 3". Any limbs larger go to my fireplace log stack.

I have not read all replies so If I overstep please excuse me. On the subject of watering plants. I to have the same dilemma. I am in Central Texas. We have had 20 days over 100 degrees and the next 10 looks the same. We have had (0) zero rain in over a month and again, none in site. Since I had an abundance of PVC pipe. I cut 2"  about 24" long. drilled 9/16" holes all around the first foot. buried them at each squash, cucumber and melon plant, every other day I fill the pipe and refill the pipe as I go around. Time consuming but works. On my tomatoes, beans etc, I made a 1/2" PVC pipe irrigation system. I laid my pipe out, caped the ends and drilled a 1/16" hole half way thru the pipe at each plant. I put several valves in the system to section off each portion of my garden to help keep water pressure up and I can alternate watering days. So far, so good.

If any are remotely alive. Butcher and put in the freezer. I agree with the emulsion as well.

I started with one 20 x 60 garden for years. I got very little out of it because of the deer. I tried the peeing around the perimeter, hanging dirty laundry around the edges, the human hair thing; even a 5 strand electric fence only to watch a deer and her fawn zip thru it. Then I went with an 8 foot high fence. Finally some relief unless I forgot to shut the gate. This went on until I decided I needed more veggies so I sold my above ground pool which had a half circle deck and went container gardening. the heat off the deck was making me water every day. I finally put in another 30 x 60 unfenced garden with only those plants deer don't go after, unless their food source runs out. I planted all those fuzzy plants like Squash, tomatoes, cucumber, melons, and corn. So far, so good. The reason I bring this up is I do let my watermelon and pole beans climb the fence, knowing I will still share a percentage with the deer.
