Re: Field Broadcaster
I agree with Virginia. When you're growing for a CSA, you've made a commitment to families with children to provide them with as much food as your skill and the season allow. Deer damage much more than what they eat. One of the worst things they will do is trample remay that is excluding flea beetles (oops, there I go again!!) from cole crops. Their hooves tear the remay, damage that may not be discovered until harvest time. (Which remind me: as well as zuchinni that seemed to bear for months, I seem to remember remay that didn't tear as easily as any remay I buy nowadays does.) We get lots of stuff just out and out trampled also. The deer only bother our stuff, however, when it's more desireable than what they can fine in the woods. This season, apparently, there wasnt a lot of edamame out in the woods. Dear Sharon, You are most generous and I imagine unruffled even when the corn plants you have sweated over are all broken, your trees are continually browsed or the fruits that you've waited for are strewn all over the place before they even mature. While they may eat some, the damage they cause is to an extent that some people have given up growing a garden altogether. Too bad, because gardening is immensely therapeutic and healing. For animals, there are wild plants in abundance which may be much more healing for them. Virginia
Re: Field Broadcaster
Allen and Virginia , A while back ,before we got our dog, we went on a trip and came home to a devestated corn patch, with lots of half eaten corn, damage from a coon . We now have a big yellow lab that feels duty bound to protect the perimiters, she had a groundhog in a tree last year for a whole day, till we brought her indoors so the groundhog could leave. Perhaps the right dog could help send the word out to the critters to keep their distance. We have some bd neighbors who actually bought and trained their dog to guard their flock of 300 egg layers that were free ranged from the healthy population of fox in the woods surrounding them. just a thought. We all need to eat.

Re: Field Broadcaster
Dear Allen and Virginia . I didn't mean that you shouldn't seek a solution for the problem, and just let them damage your crops. Awhile back we went on a trip and found our winter corn crop totally destroyed by racoons. We now have a big yellow lab that feels duty bound to keep critters at bay. We get deer out in the pasture with the horses but none in the gardens yet. We have a neighbor with 300 free range laying hens , that bought and had trained a dog to guard their flock from fox . Perhaps the right dog would do the trick.We all need to eat real food (csa members included) :) sharon. - Original Message - From: Allan Balliett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 7:14 AM Subject: Re: Field Broadcaster I agree with Virginia.

Do you think that (say) a queensland rabbit would not be all that bothered by the energy from his deceased southern victorian cousin or is there something in the genetic makeup of species that allows the peppering effect to cross borders? - we have Hugh making rae cards for weeds that will likely be used worldwide - he must think this will work ok - or are we tapping into Hugh Lovel when we use these.

Rabbits are ripping the hell out of it and if we don't do something about them the authorities will come in with calicivirus. I don't want that to happen, specially as we seem to be turning the soil condition around now (using BD500 and a herbal antacid spray). We could align the experience with the BD trials at the Dalgety Travelling Stock Route, do before-and-after digital photoshoots like I'm doing there, and use it all for promotion purposes. Incidentally, I'm planning a Field Day at the TSR for 12 October with Hamish Mackay doing the fifth spray since February of BD500 and manure concentrate on the 20 hectare BD plot. roger Hi Roger Would that field day date be too late? I had planned to be in Canberra that weekend for a muzzle loader shoot anyhow and also have some broadcaster bits for Lezlie. I am in the process of pulling up my broadcasters for checking and refurbishment and could loan one of those to the project. Dont think I could get this done much before that date though. We would also need a good rabbit pepper that we know works - I dont have one - not much trouble with bunnies. Brigid Grote or Graham Cranney most likely do have peppers but closer to home is probably better - any thoughts? Let me know soon if this would be suitable as I had better get onto it.

Re: Field Broadcaster//Insect and weed peppers
Well, Alan, I did call my friend and she tells me that she has just about as many Japanese beetles as she did before she peppered them. No more, no less (which, actually, might represent some but not a great deal of progress). Now, next year, if I have beetles, I'm going to pepper them with strong, focussed intent, and put them into both wells and see what happens.

Re: Field Broadcaster//Insect and weed peppers
Actually, I do know one other person who made a pepper - the person to whom I donated my first field broadcaster when I upgraded - and she, in fact, made a Japanese beetle pepper. She lives about 10 miles from me. I'll check with her to see what happened, and will let you know. Looking forward to hearing about this, Essie! Thanks for your post. -Allan
