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

Get a rat/mink trap from Mole Valley Farmers, they have a branch in
Bridgwater and supply mail order.

I have two live traps, one raccoon size (the size of a *very* fat
cat), one "squirrel" size. The larger, raccoonish one is the more
successful at catching grey squirrels.

Bait with peanut butter, if you can find the stuff. Or run
roasted peanuts through a meatgrinder or food processor until
they are turned to paste.
