David, if something is digging up your soil, it's probably because there's
something there to be eaten.. Squirrels love tulip bulbs/ skunks love
grubs(like June bug larvae). If you don't want to feed the squirrels your
expensive bulbs, just plant daffodil/narcissi instead (and better the skunks
eat your grubs than the grubs eat your lawn ; ). Beer in a lidded container
will get rid of your snail &/or earwig problem (loads of info online). Please
don't throw your soil away; amending it with well-rotted compost (veggie
peels/leaves/grass clippings) from your own recycled organics or from the
garden centre will do the most for the soil in your garden...
Lol, was just reading what Doug Kanter said - great advice all of it (but all
the way back in December of 2004, really?!) I'm guessing that by this point
you're either a real Pro in the garden or have already given it up years
ago... Hopefully the former; )
