Wolf Creek Indian Garden
Indian Garden Update 7: Day 106 (August 21st, 2009)
Just a couple of weeks before our corn harvest was about to begin several raccoons invaded our garden. We had live traps set around the perimeter of the garden, but the coons were only interested in our Wichita corn. After the coons had stolen about 50 ears of corn in two nights we said enough was enough and we installed a three wire electric fence. This put an immediate end to our coon problem!
