Description
Castor oil and castor plants are known to repel voles, moles, mice and plants are resistant to deer and most other pests.12 +1 seeds from 2020 plants are viable for at least several years
I cultivate plants intermixed with the crops I want to protect. For example, I have a severe problem with voles. They have decimated my sweet potato crop in years past. Now I plant Castor on the north side of my beds and prune the huge leaves to allow light to reach the potatoes. No more
vole problems!
CULTURE: Plant the seeds about 1” deep after danger of frost has passed. In my experience, seeds take at least 14 days to germinate. Some seeds take longer to germinate. Presoaking the seeds may speed things up. Again, in my experience, plants look pretty unhealthy on first emerging, but soon become very vigorous. They like full sun and lots of fertility for best growth.
