groundhog problems

There is a HUGE groundhog living under my shed. I see it in the back yard once in a while, eating my morning glories. Today I went out to check on the kale I planted in a raised bed, and I found that every single plant had all the leaves eaten off! (about 4 inches up) I had really been looking forward to having kale salads this fall - hopefully the plants will recover, but I'm not so sure. Anyway, is there any way to ensure that this groundhog won't do it again? I live in the city, where unfortunately, I'm not allowed to simply shoot the darn thing. Groundhogs love sheds. A plain fence did not work for me--groundhogs can climb fences. The Hav-A-Hart did not work either, groundhogs and muskrats are leary of traps. A beating one over the head did not work. I electrified the fence, problem solved. Fasten sturdy chicken wire or hardware cloth around the shed base. |
