Hey, I've got some plants I am about to put outdoors here in a couple of days. I've got some 4ft by 50ft fencing/chicken wire from lowes that I am thinking about using. If I cut out some portions of the fencing, bend it into circles (with about a 4-6 ft diameter) and tie them off into that shape, would this be good to put around each of my outdoor plants? My biggest worry is deer or other rodents messing with the plants. Do you think this is the best method to keep my plants safe from animals? Anyone else use this method? I know its probably too much work if you have a bunch of outdoor plants, but I only have a few and I need to keep them safe. The only drawback I can see is this possibly calling attention to the plants, although I know of noone that goes around my spot.
On another note, the lighting schedule outdoors right now is about to go over the 14/10 mark. Should this be enough light to keep most of the plants in veg you think?? They are only about 3 weeks old, working on their 7th nodes (only 4-5 inches tall/very bushy). I'm hoping they will keep vegging and hopefully each will nearly fill up the fencing that they are in by the end of the summer.
