December 29, 2006, Newsletter Issue #271: Squirrel Repellent

Tip of the Week

To keep squirrels from digging up your bulbs, try sprinkling mustard powder on the soil. This irritates their nostrils and they will stay away. If mustard powder doesn't work, you can create a cage for your bulbs from wire mesh. Plant the entire cage in the ground and squirrels will be completely foiled.
