one problem i can have with some planted things in pots here
are raccoons seeking food or smelling fertilizers and thinking
they're food.Â* some potting mixes have long-release fertilizers
included and often that is made with fish emulsions or other
stuff that smells too much like food to a raccoon.

Every so often I see something about sticking some
fish (Asian carp?) at the bottom of your hole and
"see what happens".Â* I can't help but think "Oh, I see something dug
up all my plants with fish under it!"

:'(

The fertilizer I use, if chicken scat based.


Â* Be careful T , fresh chicken shit can be very hard on your plants . I
let the hay/shit from out hen house compost for at least 6 months before
using it on the garden - I don't know the history of the stuff you're
using so ... Rabbit shit , however , can be used right away , and has
better long-term nourishment for your plants .

Ya, I have heard that several places.

I buy my chicken s*** in a bag at wally world. Organic fertilizer for
tomatoes (means it has more calcium).

I have heard that goat s*** works well too.

And the freakin' neighborhood cats keep s***ing
in my garden too. Time to place some toothpicks!
