RE: Moving My Aloe Ferox Into Full Sun & Taking a Closer Look at the Worm Farm

in #palnet3 years ago

I see some suspicious teeth marks on one of those little pots. Looks familiar; sometimes I have wild nocturnal animals knock over my seedling pots, maybe because the soil smells of kitchen compost or something, but they seem to think the prize is at the bottom of the container. I guess I'll call it instinct, but it's also possible that the culprits are just being little assholes, as they've destroyed a lot of my work in the garden.

Sort:  

I don't know, I guess that depends on the type of nocturnes in question. They could simply be bug hunting... I very often come across some beetle larvae or grubs when I plant my plants out from the medium - I guess the active microbiology is an attractive environment for them. Then again, I have seen my dogs licking at my potting medium or stealing small pieces of fermented bark from it - so could very well be the minerals or the smell that attracts them. As for my pots - I have but one word - PUPPY!

So great to see you around again, looking forward to a post from you!
