Question News, Will Marijuana keep animals away from a garden?

News, Elderly Woman Arresting For Planting Marijuana Plants In Her Backyard.

Greensboro, NC (AHN) - A 71-year-old woman was arrested on drug charges after police discovered several marijuana plants, one that was more than seven feet tall, in her yard.

A deputy sheriff discovered the plants while driving past Betty Holt Walker's home earlier this month. Walker said she planted them to "keep animals away from her garden."

Upon investigating her yard, police found five smaller plants behind a shed, as well as marijuana stems and seeds and a water bong made from a soda bottle inside the house.

Haha, good story. This is the kind of humor I need to end my day.

She probably though, "c'mon, I'm a 71 year old lady. I'm golden." That is, until they found the bong. Hahaha.

Marijuana may keep animals away from your garden but it won't keep the police away lol.

I used to grow marijuana in northern California, back in the early 1980s. I can tell you from personal experience that it ATTRACTS animals. We had a mountain lion, for example, who destroyed all our fences and wrecked an entire season for us because it apparently liked salads with a buzz.

Bears eat it. Rats eat it. Rabbits adore it. Every imaginable bug loves it.

Marijuana does NOT keep animals away from your garden.

I was just making a joke, I have no idea if it keeps animals away or not.

Oh, don't get me started! Deer LOVE that stuff! Forget the chemical component (which doesn't affect most animals), it's those lush green leaves in the midst of areas where there's hardly anything decent to eat. Marijuana is salad heaven for vegetarian animals. As to why it's coveted by mountain lions and bears, I'm no sure. I think our bear problem had more to do with the fact that we used blood meal and bone meal in the soil mixture, so the bears would dig up the plants trying to find the source of that yummy 'dead body' smell. It's been a long time since I studied this stuff so I don't recall... but the mountain lions definitely like to eat the plants. I knew many people who got wiped out by them.

As for deer, they're a problem for gardeners everywhere. Half of Austin is plagued with deer who destroy every type of landscaping that isn't "deer proof" and they eat most of the "deer proof" plants too. I know this from having given beautiful planters full of deer-proof ornamentals to friends who live in the western hills of town. And those planters got munched to stubble within a few days. Don't believe everything they tell you at your friendly local nursery dealer.
