tricks for safely growing outdoors
dont usually have much of a problem with insects but you can probably expect to lose a few plants to animals if you do nothing, and chicken wire is probably the best deterent but it does make the plant stand out a little more, but if theres any people that walk by its not a good spot to begin with and probably will get found especially later as the plant gets bigger the small ring of wire is not that noticable once the plant gets bigger as it tends to get covered up as the plant grows.
once the plant is established and out of the seedling stage about 2 foot tall alot of animals will no longer mess with them and you can probably remove the wire at that point if you wish.
usually dont have a problem with deer but if there is an overpopulation of them or more than the land can support they probably can be destructive.
while I have used wire and can say it helps alot I usually dont bother and just accept a few losses and keep replacing them as I go one other thing that seems to help with animal problems is not to place plants out to early I will wait a good 3-4 weeks after last frost.
