Yikes! Isaac headed this way!

Ii have some big plants and I am wondering what I can do to help protect them from the wind. Any ideas, or do I just hope for the best? These babies are 6-10 feet tall and nearly as wide. Is there anything I can do?

Trash can bahahahaha....

Better get to building a shed over them..

I can give you a ton of tips...but how to "hurricane proof" your pants is not in my notes.

add poles to the ground and tie big branches, tomato cages, net around it. Get creative what type of stoner are you?

What he said, tie down and hope for the best, might be 80mph storms but you will be suprised that plants like this can take it. Foriegn debris, hail and other falling larger trees are your real issue.

Good luck and get ready personaly, flashlights, fill up cars with gas, water, fill bathtubs to help flush toilets. Generators are cheap but will be all gone once the storm hits. Food, try to set yourself up to last for at least a week without power or water.

I know the weed is important but you and family are also.


Oh I almost forgot, crown royal and beer.

"agriculture trellis" is what i use for wind....
you could also .make wooden supports...i know weez does them....

Thanks for the advice. This isn't my first hurricane. I stayed thru Charley, and it got pretty interesting. I am well prepared for my personal safety and I am going to stay on the mainland until it passes. I have never had plants to worry about before though. I will stake them as best I can and hope for the best.

or you can lay them down on their side and strap them to the ground . most stable imo

Tie down a tarp over them, and rock that down......
Bend the over might also help....

What he said ^

Tie all side branching to main stem . but not to tight. if in buckets tie the bucket and mid way up the plant to a large tree. been there done that!

Well, I came out pretty good. It ripped the largest plant limb from limb, but I taped it back together this morning with gorilla tape. It is still raining pretty hard. When it slows down I am going to try to brace it back up. All the others are fine.

Awesome and congrats for making it thru! I gots fam in Lutz, I been out there in hurricane season and that rain is crazy!. I woulda thought the xmas tree technique also on the plants b4 storm. (wrapping it up). Survival of the fittest and it seems u obviously are doin a great job! HAPPY HARVEST 2012!

I'll stay in Cali. earth quakes don't mess up our plants..

Not unless it is a huge earthquake

Until the earth opens up and swallows them whole!! Lol my 8 footer made it thru undamaged so far.
