And maybe a sign to show him where his planted items start / finish .
Thats bull hockey, a squirrel or any other wild animal don;t know
whats planted for him or you and for the most poart they do maore
damage just tasteing and digging than they are worth. I have a permit
to knock off sqiurrels out of season as this area is unindated with
them, and this week alone I have killed more than 2 dozen. They have
clipped off all new young plants, dug up seeds, raid my chicken nests
and in general destroy everything they come into contact with one way
or another. One or two may be nice, but more than that and its
problems for lots of folks.
