Welcome to OS billyko

 

Some sort of mesh fence is about all that keeps scrub turkeys out, but they shouldn't actually hurt your plants too much, scratching all the mulch away to their nest is their intention... if your plants are in pots, then no problem.

 

If you want lots of great fat buds, you'll need either a big plant or lots of little ones.

 

If your soil is free draining, the rain shouldn't be a problem. I've rescued submerged mullies from a swollen creek before and once transplanted, they grew as normal

 

As for seeds from Nimbin well they'll be either Hippy Weed or Junkie Weed ...depending on who you scored from of course

 

Have you got some growing yet? or still just planning? ...cause it really is getting a bit late to grow outside in Aus, unless you're happy with a little bud-on-a-stick!

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

yer put a lil bit of chiken wire round em that should keep the turkeys from hurting them.

you can keep them small by constantly cutting back as they grow and tipping. its pretty late in the season too so they wont grow too big befor they start flowering.And nar they wont drown as long as the water is draining.
