Default I'm about to eviscerate a lot of squirrels if I can't get some help.

I agree with the blood meal sprinkled over the top. I do this when planting bulbs.
also, it is suggested to never leave any husk on top to lure the squirrels.

Now, there is some kind of hot stuff people put into bird seed (birds cant taste very
well) to prevent squirrels from eating it.

You might want to try some light weight chicken fencing over the seeds/seedlings for
a while.

There is also the water "cannon", I think they are sensitive enough to be tripped by
squirrels. ponders use them to keep birds and raccoons away from ponds.
