Growing Sunflowers

Question

We have been trying to grow sunflowers and something is eating the shoots. How can we prevent this?

Answer 1

Without knowing what pest is is, it is hard to give specific advice, but there are several products on the market that generally repel small critters that nibble on shoots. Typically, they are made of predator urine. You can also try hot pepper powder or citrus peels, as these repel most small mammals.
