sign....I don't have problems with rabbits, the occaisonal raccon or
'possum. They don't do much dammage, and they don't eat much. Even the
skunks aren't a problem, they leave my dog alone and don't spray near us.
It's just that when they walk past the bedroom window at
night...peeeyhyooooo!!! The odor of a skunk at close range is incredible. My
neighbor had some move into the crawlspace of his house, and he had to move
out for two weeks until they got rid of them and replaced the wood that got
sprayed...but I digress...

I just don't want my garden turned into a DMZ, and around here the
moles/gophers/whatever make a huge mess of things. They really ruin the
landscape when they move in.

There is a product called Mole Med. It contains castor oil and you
can probably read more about it he

I've used Castor oil that I purchased at a drug store. (Pricey) I've
dug holes and added battery power vibrators. I've placed milky spore
disease on my small lawn. I've stepped on their runs and installed a
spike trap. Twice killed one. I've got mole plants spurge. (SP?) . Still
they come.

I buy gutter guard and chicken wire to make physical barriers. I've
also placed tulips in wires boxes. Next step is broken glass as they are
bleeders. (Do not like the idea as it would most likely get me.)

Still end up pressing soil down about young trees. Makes me more
paranoid but slow death to so many young plants gets my attention.

I live in the woods and do not recommend planting any thing in a
straight line. (Bulbs)

Bill who is looking at garden catalogs still ).
