How to Keep Squirrels Out of a Vegetable Garden
There are many squirrels in my neighborhood that visit our backyard on a daily basis.
This worries me.
What if they eat all the juicy yummy tomatoes before harvest? What if they devour the delicious cucumber before we could get to them? That would be any gardener's worst nightmare.
All praise be to Allah SWT, many gardeners revealed that bird netting works really well to keep squirrels away from the vegetable garden.
I also found this article about how to keep these critters away:
1. Create a cayenne spray.
2. Use a variety of repellent - cayenne pepper/black pepper, mothballs, white vinegar, bone/blood meal and coffee grounds.
