    Default Animals eating my garden HELP!

    Oh man i'm so pissed, every morning there is more veggies and herbs munched. Last night something feasted on my squash!!
    What can i do naturally to repel dear and ground hogs and lord knows what else. DH offered to shoot them but i'd prefer a non leathal organic method.

    I really want to eat my own garden thank you very much!!

    You can buy fox urine to scare away deer. It's supposed to work really well and it's humane, you just sprinkle it around the outside of your garden and the deer won't go near it. Why a deer would be afraid of a fox, I'm not sure, LOL! But they are.

    Groundhogs... hm, can't help you there. Never had to deal with them and since they live underground, they're probably eating your veggies underground too so I don't know what you'd do about all that.

    Yeah groundhogs are ASSHOLES to deal with. Best of luck with that. I can't remember how my parents got a hold of them. But they're gone. I'm sure it was humane, or at least mildly so O.o
    As far as deer go, I've heard Fox urine is good too. For rabbits try tabasco sauce. They hate that shit. My mom got those suckers.
    Also try putting empty canning jars upside down into the soil. Supposedly that deters wildlife (above ground anyways) from coming near the garden. Honestly don't know why, but I've seen it work.

    There's this stuff at loews that has both fox urine, red pepper essence, rotten egg essence etc., the label says that its for all animals, i bought it recently and it works really well. The only downside is that it STINKS so bad, that it repels me from the garden as well. it really is an ungodly scent. ..... anyway, before that i installed a little fence and it kept the squirrels and rabbits away. its a little wire one, it hits a little past my knee, deer don't visit me thou
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    I dunno if it'll work on ground hogs, but a co-worker of mine was collecting cut hair from the salon so her dad could spread it around his property to keep the deer from eating all his plants. It worked...

    You could put chicken wire or other fencing around it. That's what I did and mine has been left alone. The holes aren't big enough for any animal to get through, but it's still short enough that I can climb over it.

    ^^^ Agreed. Go to any garden store, or Home Depot and ask for garden fencing and they'll have it. It isn't too expensive and very effective.
