Stopping squirrels getting at my nuts ???
 
I have a walnut tree that I suspect squirrels have stripped it of its
nuts. This has not been known in the past thou.

This tree is grown seperate from all my other trees, and its branches
are well away from others tree branches.

So does anyone have any ideas on how to effectively stop squirrels
climbing, or getting to my nuts.

Has "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" been released there? I thought of a
scene near the end, right after the "Stinking Bishop" cheese. Which I
understand is enjoying a surge in sales, not entirely welcome for a small
producer who is happy with things as they were...

Get a 'mink/rat' tap from Mole valley farmers, catch the b******ds and
dispose of them.

I /was/ going to suggest chain maille underwear but all the websites selling
it were rather unsuitable for URG !

They need entertainment - little slides, swings and roundabouts should
distract them.

Make sure you also have the Mission Impossible theme tune at the ready
on your cd player for when the lil' squirrels start performing. That'd
be entertainment for you too ;o)
