| Help. My Germinating Maize Seeds Kept Being Dugged Up. by Olayinka8793(m): 10:42pm On May 10 |
Good evening experience agriculturalists/farmers. I planted about 15 rows of maize in my backyard. They were germinating fine until I arrived home this night to see them all dugged up and disappear. The hole in which I planted each seeds has been left open and empty with no signs of the young plants anywhere. I am suspecting my neighbor's two chickens as been behind the painful act but I am not sure yet. My backyard is not fenced. So the chickens do regular wandered from my neighbor's house at the back into my backyard. Am I right in my suspicion or could another animal like bush rats be behind the destruction of my Germinating seedlings? I presently isn't buoyant enough to afford to fence off my backyard farm, so I will appreciate if there are alternative solutions I can apply before replanting a new set of seeds. I presently have a big heap of dead leaves and grasses in my front yard and I am wondering if I could spread those around the backyard farm to make a low temporary fence/barrier? I am not a farmer I took great effort to clear the backyard and do the planting which has now turned to waste. CC: FarmTech. Pavore 9 kindly help push to front page. |

Olayinka8793: Oga, use treated seeds. Also buy seeds and feed the chickens for the first one week of your germination to take their attention away from your farm. Shikena ! 1 Like |

Even with a fence, if they are local chicken, they will fly through. |

Its either rats or monkeys that perpetrate that evil. Get a security guard on 24/hours By the time you kill 3 of them they will stop coming |
