Every gardener knows the frustration of going out to check on your plants and finding that something has been munching on the fruits of your labor.

For Bohemia Farm (@bohemiafarm), dealing with a garden pest was as simple as medieval warfare.

When a woodchuck was eating his tomatoes, he put up a line of cacti to defend them. "The cactus as a medieval knight with the sharp spikes targeted [the woodchuck's] buttock, and that's it," he said.

He said the best way to defeat an enemy is to outsmart it before explaining that placing cacti around garden plants can deter future visits from unwanted garden pests.

Tending to a garden also comes with many health benefits. Research has found that eating food from a garden can help people improve their diets, especially their fiber intake. Beyond an increase in nutrients, the physical activity associated with gardening can strengthen muscles and increase mobility.

Researchers have linked gardening to improved mental health as well. Studies show that gardening can reduce stress and anxiety and boost positive emotions. Gardening with others can also improve mental health through fostering social connection.

Cultivating a garden also comes with environmental benefits. Plants, especially native plants, can provide habitats for insects and other small creatures. Plants also remove pollutants from the air, and growing them at home can save a trip to the grocery store in a car. It also reduces the need for mass-produced produce to be shipped around the world.

With 315,000 likes, Bohemia Farm garnered quite a bit of attention with his woodchuck defense hack.

Commenters appreciated both his spirit and advice. "More life advice from this man please," one wrote.

Many mentioned filing away the tip for future dealings with wildlife in their gardens. Someone said, "I like the way you think."
