I have attemeted a few gorilla grows in my life and racoons have always been my worst enamy . they love to tear plants apart for some reason.
ya i had issues with coons and blood/bone i just wasnt sure if the composting prior would help keep them at bay. dankwolf hows it going i was lurking through threads other day see you got them soil pools prepped. nice!!!

Things are going good this year over all . big potters still need to be tilled and amended . purchased a different irrigation set up for potters this year . cant set it up till i transplant though .
It makes sense to disturb pontential gorilla patch prior to plant moveing in . never tried it that way .
Been dumping soil from my indoor grow, into my little garden
Last time I did that, a few weeks back
4(almost) unknown sativa hybrids,KA5H seed taken from my indoor finished plant
Spring at 42N
Started mid April with this year's outdoor
Only sunlight

The instant you dig in the ground animals (most likely raccoons) want to know what you were looking for.
This spot has a whole community of raccoons and they took down an acre of corn. What a mess. Some of my cages were beat up to shit trying to get under them but the plants survived.

I never used to have problems with animals when I mixed ash from the fireplace into the soil in the woods, I guess ash doesn't smell like food to them. The pot plants really seemed to like the ash a lot.

How much ash did you use? A handful a hole?

A bunch, I wasn't too scientific about it back then but I guess about 5% of the volume of the hole.
It's a common practice for older people in Greece to add ashes from an ashtray,residue from greek/turkish style coffee to their plants
I've seen it, maybe a practice I should adopt
Nice to know it has been tried with positive results

Went for a joyride last night and saw a racoon crossing a road, probably the f'er who keeps digging through my trashcans (I haven't added anything in a week or more, keep coming back anyway).

Got me thinking about the animal/ critters issue with gorilla style planting .i always tried to ward off animal's/ critters and never really succeeded . so has any one tried purposely creating hot zones away from your plants?
For what it is worth the one thing i know to be fact is the value of red ants and wasps . i have never seen such clean plants bug , animal or critter wise if you plant on a red ant hill and if by chance relocate a wasp nest . when it is cold and ypu will be hard pressed to have any issues with animal , critter , bug and or people

lol.
I don't know about red ants, be we have the normal (for here) black ants. My cousin has a blueberry farm and when he gave me a few plants, he told me to dump a can of coke in the hole when I plant. The coke will attract ants and the ants will acidify the soil. So my question is, do red ants drop the PH significantly?
