we laid a new mini-citi-backyard lawn(with sod) about 6 weeks ago...
it's great!! but squirrells are digging holes in it every day. it's such
a small lawn that if this keeps up, alas, our lawn will disappear. any
suggestions to deal with this greatly appreciated...-

Throw lots of peanuts into your neighbors' yards. :-)

i might just do that given that the neighbors left and right have no
grass to be dug up(so i wouldn't be exporting my problem to them)


If you are going to throw peanuts, be sure they aren't in their casesas
those will get buried. Use hulled/shelled peanuts. Another optionwould
be to feed them hulled sunflower seeds. The birds will like ittoo and no
hulls to make a mess. If the squirrels have something toeat, they won't
be digging in your garden.

problem is i think they are digging in the lawn to HIDE the peanuts.
are you suggesting that i feed them peanuts in the un-opened shell? or
peanuts which i've taken out of the shell?
