MY BIG PROBLEM IS NOW THE DAMNED WOODS RATS walk right up to my front door, and munch on my GHOST pepper plants... bastiches.. they even ate potatos that were growing in movable planters boxes.. and they don't eat potato plants,,, they are toxic... go figure.
I found the cure tho... one normal GHOST pepper, one clove of garlic, and a cup of HOT water, in the food processor... run it till its totally macerated and a liquid... then add it to 2 quarts of HOT water... stir occasionally, and let it sit for 24 hours... strain the liquid thru a coffee filter, and use it in a clean spray bottle.. and spray the plants with it... NO animal will eat them EVER... use caution, and only spray in the evening when they are moist .... and watch the breeze.... this concoction is about 8 x nastier than commercial OCS allowed for use by LEO's.
yeh, its nasty.
as soon as I can get my uplink to work, i'll add some startling closups of interlopers in my freaking driveway... that just stand and look at me like ..."wha.... wha....? I'm supposed to run, or sumpin?"
