Im curious to find out if there are any ways of stopping bush turkeys scratching up my seedlings and my grow spots and destroying my plants? Like any sort of method that will stop them coming near my plants?

Four sticks stuck in the ground around the plants,then wrap 20lb clear fishing line around the sticks.Does not stand out like a fence.OPH

you might be able to use some type of animal urine or your own or bring a pet dog to shit near the plot or take a poop yourself,and of course eat meat the night before .

I can tell you from years of experiance human piss or dog piss does not work at stopping animals from getting your pot.With him being australia coyote piss will not mean a thing to them,they do not have coyotes in australia.OPH

Predator (including human) urine is usually not effective against other predators. I am from the Mid-West US, and we have Eastern Wild Turkeys, Which are a very different bird but they can still c ause some problems. Urine is not effective against Turkeys because they have sight based defenses. Out here the only time urine would be used would be to keep away coyotes, rabbits, deer, etc. It just depends upone what type of urine, human or wolf can be best in my experience. There are chemicals available in flower catalogs that you can put out and will work for weeks to months, never used them but I know they exist.
The best protection in my experince is a chicken wire fence. I usually limit my plants to about 4 feet. I put out three-foot high chicken wire fence in a circle about 3 ft in diameter. In my experince, use branches and tent stakes to pin it down and bury a few inches to prevent burrowing by small animals. GL

AND IF YOU USE A CHICKEN WIRE FENCE burn it in a fire place or leave it out in the rain for a while to let it rust and take off that shiny finish that will attract attention

Cheres for all the help everyone, might just use some stakes and fishing line as that seemed to work last time, its just a cunt to set up and im fairly lazy so that isnt good for me :D Or maybe even some cling wrap around the stakes :D:D:D:D
