 ??? Does anyone know a way to keep raccoons out of the corn without killing them? I had 2 rows of sweet corn and they've eaten almost all of it in the last few nights.

this may sound silly but get a male human to go out and urinate around at the ends and middle of your corn plants the scent will scare them off

It is very good for several reasons, 1 wild animals usually don't like it, but it is good for the plants also. My grandson overheard us talking about it once , ask a couple of questions and everytime he had to go he would outside and whizz away on my honeysuckle. That blooming plant grew like crazy. So must be something too it. Oh yeah we lived out in the country and he was only 2.

 :wave: Thank you, I never would have thought of that. It's too late to save my corn this year, but you can bet I'll try it next year.

You could try fox urine.  You can get it at places that sell gardening supplies.
