squirrels and bulbs
 

My lawn is full of little holes where a grey squirrel has dug up and
eaten my newly planted bulbs. Anything I can do other than chicken
wire?

Put out peanuts. I doubt they'll bother digging for bulbs if there is easier
food around.

Move to the Isle of Wight where there are no Grey Tree Rats?

I thought of that. Good idea. I think I'll do it.

I put out lots of peanuts. More bulbs are being dug up this year than
ever before (Sorry!). I am just glad that we seem to have only the one
squirrel.

And do it every day. As the population increases, put out increased
quantities :-)

I think you might find that this will encourage more squirrels to visit your
garden and bring their friends, too. ;-( All those squirrels that have
been digging for bulbs in your neighbours' gardens will just gravitate
towards yours.
