    Why would you leave your harvested weed anywhere raccoons can get to it?

    Bring it indoors after you harvest it.

    Raccoons will eat pot if that's all there is to eat.

    There are LOTS of critters that will.
    The only way to prevent wildlife from muching on your goods is to build an enclosure around your patch, or around each plant.
    Most animals won't eat pot that is well into flowering.

    racoons are very smart n rescorcfull constantly hungry critters .....they are omnivoers but like ducks n chicks n protien meat n nuts n froggies n corn n berrys too like bears ....a woodchuck is your more than likely greenage muncher ... shoot them or buy tunnell bombs at the feed store that you throw in the holes .....

    i know you wanna protect your crop, but don't kill animals living there to do so. after all, they were there first. maybe you could just build some sort of enclosure like ranger danger mentioned.

    pittl, tell your friend to build a chicken coop.
    I have chickens and there are lots of things in the woods that love chicken just as much as I do but I've never lost one of 'em cause I take care of them by providing a coop.
    You and your friend will soon discover that all killing chicken predators does is open up a niche for more.

    You're still a kid, hopefully you will soon discover that killing everything that vexes you is no solution.

    dont fuck with nature we are not of this earth we were put here by the last of our kind this is the closest likeness to the planet we came from originaly so we share it with its original inhabitants. We fucked our planet up and had to move the last of us here. i mean cant you tell we are diffrent, look around you do the animals and other things on this planet hav or do the things we do? we dont fit in at all the only way we survive here is to destroy everything. we`ve found a plant that effects us in the way this world has designed it to effect its own kind so we get a glimps of what its like to be an earthling, cherish it and let your self be at one with earth.

    i once heard that grinding Up fresh chilis and mixxing them with water and spraying them on the plants will discourage animals from eatting em'

    IS this true?
