Milk Carton Fence Keeps Raccoons Out Of Sweet Corn

Milk Carton Fence Keeps Raccoons Out Of Sweet Corn CROPS Miscellaneous 17-4-39 After trying just about every trick in the book to keep raccoons out of sweet corn, Jack Gogerty, Hubbard, Iowa, hit upon a simple "electrified" solution that works. He *uses 1-gal. plastic milk bottles to support and insulate electric fence wire. It's easy to set up and holds the wire - which is threaded through the handles - 3 to 4 in. off the ground. Gogerty burns back weed growth with Roundup. He installs the fence about 10 days before the sweet corn ripens.
