To date I've spent $223 on herbs, tomato, carrot, squash and other plants; that if I can bring to fruition, will save me several thousand, plus pay for the portable solar fence in one season.

Also, if I understand my rotation correctly, I'll have two harvest. The first around the middle of July and the second in late September.

I know there are many members here with farming experience. If you have the time please share your hard fought knowledge with us. In appreciation that you will, I want to thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
In Missouri critters are only a minor annoyance compared to weeds, insects, and diseases. Do you have access to mulch for weed control? Are you using chemicals
or organic? Weeding takes ALOT of time. I have found a ton of advice on youtube, such as composting. good luck!
