            | Weird Wint (Tomatoes) | Newcastle, CA | Hey Wixom, give us the details on your perimeter fencing there. looks like a good option. I need to do something like that to keep the critters out so I can actually have a garden that isn't eaten while im at work. looks like it flares outwards too to keep them from crawling in? 
 keep it up! maters look nice!

            | wixom grower ( The Polish Hammer) | Wixom MI. | its called geogrid and its ment for holding concrete block retaining walls from falling over.like a tie back !!! Its a nylon rope covered with an oil baced tar coating. Its about 6 feet high and 300 feet long !!! The oil baced tar kept most criters from chewing holes through it for the first couple of years but that was it. I also put a 2 foot tall rabbit fence around it last year and seems too have stopped groundhogs from getting in so far. Keepping my fingers crossed but i have had no critter break ins yet !!! 2 years ago i probably cought 30+ critters. Groundhogs racoons skunks squirels possums etc.... | 6/20/2018 8:57:52 PM | 
		
            | wixom grower ( The Polish Hammer) | Wixom MI. | Megablooms are just getting started now but they are still to small to take pictures. I can't take close ups like bnot can.  | 6/20/2018 9:00:12 PM | 
		
            | Garden Rebel (Team Rebel Rousers) | Lebanon, Oregon | That is a super fine garden! Much better than last years if I remember. I'll be on Wixom watch all summer. | 6/20/2018 9:18:43 PM |

            | bnot | Oak Grove, Mn | i am curious wixom..this year..are you going to go for maccoy method, first truss blossom or are you going to try some higher up.  I know that i will be limited because of time, to 1st truss or 2nd.  My method is very similar to yours, so I am interested if you are going to try any higher. | 6/20/2018 9:43:09 PM | 
		
            | wixom grower ( The Polish Hammer) | Wixom MI. | I will go with the first truss meathod if i have a good megabloom if i don't have a good first truss bud then i will move on untill i get one !!! Right now i have about 80% nice megablooms on first truss !!! | 6/20/2018 9:58:45 PM |
