Maybe I'll see if I can manage it by building something like a cold frame around the bed, or perhaps a wire cage that can be assembled and put in place in the late automn and then removed and stored just after the spring thaw. way to keep herbivores out of my garden. I wonder how effective fritillaries are at keeping mammalian pests away. A colleague of mine, at work, told me that nothing he has tried in his garden has been effective. Cheers, Ted Sounds like you have squirrels who need a little snack to keep going in the spring. Although Rabbits, mice and chipmunks are also good candidates. The only way I have heard of protecting new growth is to cage it in chicken wire.. but you have to did it down in and extend it 8-10" above the soil line. So sometimes it is easier to use traps and perimeter fencing that is 10" tall to discourage them. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
