I did an outdoor grow this summer in a patch of heavily vegetated field, and with lots of weeds in a vegetated field..... come... lots of pests unfortunately. From the 10+ plants I've grown outdoors this summer, I've experienced Deer or Animals eating my plants(one animal even fimmed my plant for me, lol, which is actually still left), the notorious holes in leaves, etc...
Guano's, fish emulsion, sea kelp extract, worm castings, and all the other common organic fertilizlers, which ones will attract and which ones will repel them.
I use / know alot of methods for some pest control. I tied fishing line about 3 ft off the ground around a set of 4 trees, about... 5' X 5'. This line has been highly effective at controlling deer, as where I am there are TONSSSSS. One time I left a plant a tad to close to the edge of the line... and pop! Some branches... and at one point, the whole entire top half of a plant... gone. So if you use this method make sure to keep plants away from neck length of deer! Lol. You can also use animal scents such as coyote and wolf piss, even human piss to keep away deer, but this washes away with rain.
However the pest I'm concerned about is the little buggers that leave holes in your leaves, and leave what looks like small brown poop behind... or something does. I've lost a lot of good potential bud brances to these little fuckers.
I'm looking for something that can control them for a good amount of time... requiring less visits to the site. I've used organic spray on pest killer sucessfully, but this needs to be re-applied after rains i'm pretty sure. Im interested in a good natural or organic pest killer that I can maybe add to the soil... so its throughout the plant... etc..
Any ideas or wise words of wisdom?
Thanks
