Raccoons or stray cats

Hello- so I'm trying to grow one last set of autos before the frost hits in late December. I have had my pots in my guerilla grow area and have now had 3 pots dug into and plants ripped out. I can only imagine they are smelling the fish emulsion in the soil or one of the amendments. Does anyone have a simple way of keeping critters from diggging into the pots ? I was thinking the deer netting that the landscapers put over the flowers may work. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time

I use metal forks I put them handle down, prongs up in the soil around the plants, stops cats, not sure about raccoons.

Piss in the area around where your growing. A lot of animals won't come near your scent. You can find Fox urine at Sporting Goods Stores.

They make solar powered electric fence boxes. Places like Tractor Supply Company sell fairly small units like a 3 mile. Small rolls of wire also. Considering one plant can be worth $200-$400+. Light the critters up. Stop that crap from happening from the start.

Try moth balls. They're relatively cheap. The camphor smell is strong. I used to use them to keep cats away.

Make sure your not using fish ferts or anything in the soil that might be appealing to critters.Those little basterds got a few of my girls over the years!
