Good Tip.
If you're like us & suffer a plague of bloody squirrels,who dig the crap out of yer garden if allowed try this. Go to your nursery & buy some bloodmeal (12-0-0). After you've planted sprinkle the bm around yer plants. Squirrel's detest the smell of it(& so will you fer a day or two). Failing that,if you can't get any & live in the country, shoot the malignant buggers! I would! 8(

Re: Good Tip.
lol my boss calls them rats he hates squirrels. I learned a song in kindergarden and I still remember it a song my mom actually taught me she learned it when she was in grade school. Grey Squirrel. Something about their bushy tail makes me like the little things. And I do hate rodents but I overlook them.

Re: Good Tip.
I like squirrels - despite their digging the garden - of course I may not have as much for them to bother as some other people
and despite the very small walnut trees I have frequently had to dig out of the lawn, the flower bed, etc
(apparently some one in the neighborhood has, or had, a walnut tree - wouldn't be too bad, except for the roots go very deep by the time you recognize you have a tree growing in your flower bed!!!
so - good tip - since I can understand wanting to keep them from digging up the garden - but don't want to actually harm them ... ;)

Re: Good Tip.
Bloodmeal is really good for your plants too so double bonus! We don't have the little guys -our main prob is vine weevils - any plants you buy from nurserys here are full of them so you have to be v.careful. All our patio plants are infested from a bag of compost we got last year!! Thankfully we found the larvae before they did too much damage (they devour the roots of plants) and put them on a heavy tray outside, the nesting birdies around had a huge feast!! Must've been like xmas dinner to them all those lovely big fat white larvae....*puke*

Re: Good Tip.

Re: Good Tip.
Best tip Grandma ever gave me was going to a beauty shop and taking a bag of shampooed hair clippings from the floor. Her stylist bags it for her. Place those clipping in a knee high stocking and animals will stay away because they smell human scent. She lives in the middle of 100 acres. We have all kinds of critters out there, actually had a deer in the swimming pool. None of her plants or garden veggies get eaten as long as she hangs her stockings.
Merigold scent also deters anyone from munching, their smell is not liked by animals.

Re: Good Tip.
Interesting tip about the hair. Of course, having a bunch of someone else's hair kinda grosses me out a bit. ;)

Re: Good Tip.
yah a person has to be able to get past that little bit of business to pull this off. We wear scrubbing gloves though so we don't actually every touch it. Also the gal that collects it has been grandmother's stylist for many years so she would never give us anything we had to worry about.
