Have you ever been passing by someone’s garden and had to do a double-take after seeing a bunch of plastic forks? There’s actually a legitimate reason to place forks in your garden, and it might be more beneficial than you think. Common critters get into gardens and wreak havoc on plants — especially fruit and vegetable plants. It’s incredibly frustrating and a very common problem for homeowners. There are things like traps and chemicals to keep critters out, but there’s an easier, cheaper, and non-toxic way to keep animals from nibbling on your flowers and vegetables. Just grab a few packs of plastic forks and stick them pointy prong side up around your frequently attacked plants. It works by establishing a highly unfriendly territory for all those critters. Think about it: animals like raccoons certainly don’t want to prowl around spiky fork prongs, risking a landmine of potential minor injuries. Just place as many forks as you want around the parts of your garden that are commonly the victims of critters. Though it won’t work on tiny bugs like aphids and mites, it can be a handy tool in your pest-fighting repertoire.
