This is alot of work but it works well with most things a 1inch layer of sand then 1/8" think twigs yes it will take alot but put them in parallel lines 1-2inches apart preferably 6-10ft thick i put mine in a octagon around the plants but i created a small walking area designated by rocks then collected my fallen leaves from last fall and threw them in a thin layer all over the area working it untill it looks natural the effect is if animals walk through there i.e deer they will break maybe 2 lines together in a staggered way normally following the back foot ontop of the front hoof print humans break roughly 6-8 and with a much larger area smaller animals such as racoons foxes anything like that will not break the stick but just depress them into the sand it is alot of work but if you have the time and willing to put forth the effort you can monitor it down to the species.... it's too bad that i take all this precaution because last time my crop was found it was just some drifter who got tired of hitch hiking and set up camp if you also have the time and want to make your self an area in 2years time collect 10-20lbs of pine needles buery them in a thin layer about 6-10inches under the soil around all plants anywhere you want to make a clearing it will kill off the vegetative growth and also the trees you can fell the trees in a bow and bam you have what appears to be a natural clearing but completely controlled >
awsome idea with the money clip too i used half of a 5$ bill that went through the wash glued it to a rock and set it ontop of another rock so that it looked like it just caught there and like you said no one will give up the chanse for free money it stops the animals from taking it it also stop the leaves and stuff from accidentally covering up the knife and gets rid of the crazy expenses of anything else..... im sure all of you have half a bill laying around somewhere. if not just print of a pic of a bill (bothsides) and do the same trick
