squirrels digging....
...in all of my outside flowerpots. In the process they break off new
shoots and throw dirt all over the patio. I've read where there is not
any repellent that will work. So any ideas? How about buying some wire
- chickenwire? - and laying it on top of the dirt with cut-outs for the
branches of plants. Will that work, or will they just shove it away and
dig? I already tried spreading mothballs around, and then _I_ couldn't
stand to be around the plants on the patio. I have emphysema and strong
scents bother my breathing.

P.S. I live in a trailer court and even if I captured the one or two
squirrels bothering my plants there are plenty more that probably would
come.
