We do that in the raised beds with some things. I just tossed another
batch of crowder pea hulls in one of the beds. Haven't seen any of those
go under yet. Tilly knows better than to even sniff a bed and our only
critter problem is the cats that think our gardens are toilets. Had
another hit last night from one, I swear I'm going to get out the
"Whisper" air rifle, pretty close to having a suppressor on that one.

tossed on the surface is not the same thing.
i mean move the mulch aside and put a few items
underneath. that will encourage them a lot
more... check in the morning when it is cool.

We needed a garden shed here so we bought a plastic (very sturdy) one at
Lowe's. It's about ten feet by eight feet and was very easy to put
together, even has a floor. I bought some one foot square concrete pads
about an inch and half thick to put under it and it works well. Took two
old people two or three days to get it up but it has been doing well for
four years now and holds a lot of stuff. I did most of the putting
together and Miz Anne held things up while I bolted them together. We
still work pretty good together after fifty-six years together and we've
never struck either of us, yet. G

we have a garden shed on the back wall of the garage.
it is not extra storage for household items. it gets
mice in it at times. and right now the bees too... hmm,
i should check that tomorrow morning when it is cool to
see how many are still alive.
