Is there any way that chicken wire would help screen them out? Lay it on the ground around your plants and over top of the pots like a dome. They usually don’t want the plants but the acorns and grubs in and on the soil. Others have used cats, deer sprays, like Liquid Fence and feeding them peanuts as a bribe. Good Luck!

Isn’t this a great idea? I hope to talk my hubs out of his old metal desk and trade him for some delicious veggies…

How do keep them from making holes next to my plants and flowers? I hate to cover them in wire, it takes the natural beauty away… All my flowerbeds have about 4 inches of mulch so at least they don’t get too deep into the dirt to reach the roots. I’ve tried sprinkles of all kinds of stuff recommended but nothing works ! They are really terrible pests !

I’m going to fold over the ends of the rolls, then fill them with soil and put a seed into them. I’ll keep them in my min green houses- the salad box. I’ve never tried this but I saw it on pinterest so I thought I’d try it.

So I think I’ll give it a try w/a few of the seed packets I usually sow directly into the ground! Great article, Sue L, & lots of ideas! TFSharing!

And there are drawers to store your tools, dirt etc. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m off to buy some potting soil so I can start mine today.
(yes, I’ve been procrastinating)

My seeds were planted 3 days ago, on the baker’s rack on the back porch. SOOOO excited to see spring come. Have a great week!
