Hello Alan

AJ A friend often brings his 7-month terrier puppy to my home,
AJ and it loves to run about in the garden. Unfortunately it
AJ also likes to "worry" and uproot small plants, and I am
AJ concerned about what will happen in a few weeks' time to the
AJ summer bedding.
AJ Is there any harmless stuff I can put round or near the
AJ plants that it will find unpleasant?

Not really. Best bet is to train the dog not to - let him run around
on a long piece of string and as soon as he starts, give him a sharp
tug back and loud "NO" should work after a few tries.
