The experiment...going wrong?

[Weezard]

Since iv put steel wool around my plants and kept the weeds away, notta snail. These damn things eat very fast and gave me to many problems so i was told sand paper, egg shells or anything rough they do not like. Bingo, steel wool wrapped around the plant stops them dead as they are very fragile, so one poke an there off to die. And a rat or mouse will not chew it, great to put in the creaks in your house. Goggle steel wool an rats, its interesting:thumbsup:

SeeYa:rasta:

Good idea!
Seems it would rust pretty fast outdoors though.
Do they make stainless steel wool?

I did use it for rats in California early 90s.

Just know that all rats are not created equal.
Ca. roof rats will eat yer steel wool and shit ball bearings.

Had one chew his way through some fine wool, so I replaced it with the heavy duty, coarse, damn near barbed wire, rough grade.
Ripped his way through that too!
Why?
To steal and eat Jalepeno peppers!:wtf:
Dis guy was tough.

Aloha,

Damn Weeze id hate to run into that rat in a dark ally:wtf:..

Your right about the rust and looked all over to see if it would hurt my plants, but didn't come up with anything. But i read that a rats teeth can grow 3' a year so thats why they chew so much. Im sure my plant would get iron from the steel wool, but unsure of dose while mixing solubles.

But haven't seen one snail, oh but the one on the outside of the barrier:jointsmile:

If they don't chew, their teeth grow through their brains and kill them!"

"Great Scott, Stones! How the deuce do you deduce all dis?!


From Firesign Theater's "Great Rat of Sumatra"

We're about to see if steelwool will keep rats out of Mango trees.
I'll slap 2 strips of masking tape 'roun' da trunk, smear 'em wit Tanglefoot, and use that to attach a steelwool skirt.

I'll keep ya posted.

..there's an old adage about how to kill a rat:

1) Trap the rat.
2) Put rat in sack.
3) Beat sack with axe.
4) Pour gasoline on beaten sack and set on fire.
5) Mix ashes of rat and sack with concrete.
6) Drop hardened concrete in deep part of ocean.

Meanwhile, whilst you're doing this to Daddy Rat, Momma Rat just had a large litter of baby rats to replace the one you finally managed to kill. They're persistent little buggers... almost as good at survival as humans...

I hope the steel wool skirt works for ya, Weez... and you can find stainless-steel wool if you look fer it!

[tip o' the hat to RAH--hope I remembered his rat-elimination method rightly!]

lol that reminds me of a story!

I was in walmart one day and someone is screaming saying they saw a rat... sure enough there it goes under the big long furniture display racks.

Here come all the employees in the building (seemed like it) to start pulling out EVERY single piece of furniture and throwing it on the floor. Women are screaming, men are throwing furniture boxes, and im sitting on the bench laughing.

So they finally manage to get the rat to come out and BAM!! Some old lady smashed it with one of those rolled up area rugs they sell... Hope that one didnt come back out to be sold!


by the way weezard,

I would chew my way past steel wool for jalapenos as well! My favorite...

It can be done. A grow outside, from random bag seed. Watch out for frost. Thats your only issue. Show it love and care and attention. I ended up harvesting early but still lots of bud. When dried I had a nice three ounces. :jointsmile:

Yum times, anywho...sorry fro the lack of pics but here is one. I am doing a new grow inside soon.
