can anyone recomend a good way of stopping squirrels from digging up my
bulbs in the pots on my patio.

Borrow a cat ? But only if they are grey squirrels. It might frighten the
squirrels even if the cat never catches one. If they are red squirrels,
regard the loss of a few bulbs as helping an endangered species, or try
remedies suggested in other posts.
