Im still in the running but like Illegalseed pointed out in another thread anything can happen when your trying to get the job done outside. Even in your own back yard can be subject to more scrutiny than a grower would prefer. Having a second spot allows you to diversify your holdings so to speak. In my case I lost a field of a dozen nice size knee high plants to probably some type of rodent, possibly a ground squirrel that could fit through the fencing but I will never know for sure. I was very depressed regarding all the work, money and time I devoted to that location. I could make it bulletproof in the years to come but that's a topic for another day and not sure I want to grow in cages anyway. I have lost caged plants in the past as well to some type of animal.
After my expieriences with big loss's from gorilla patch's all due to animals I probably wont be attempting this style of growing in the future. My region wont allow for elaborate fencing in the few and far between remote areas where you need to sneak around and plant a few plants here and there. If I lived in a more remote part of the country I cetainly would make a compound of sorts to keep the animals away.
