I have a squirrel issue. They are getting onto and into my clay
flowerpots to lick the fertilizer salts that build up on the rim of
the clay pots. Any idea on how to deter them? I am considering
making soup, but for that I'd only need 2 or 3.


steep some cayenne pepper in hot
water, filter it and then spritz on
the pots along with some mouthwash
and a few drops of dishsoap.

air rifle is more fun, but you have
to remember to put it down once in
a while and get some weeding done.
