January 25, 2019A.There are several ways to do this, but I recommend a chicken wire fence around them. This will keep them out. There are chemical means as well.
This collection of articles will give you more ideas on how to keep them out, plus many other pests, and other gardening tips: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/

January 26, 2019A.I have to website pages that discuss deer resistant plants. They are specific to PA but check hardiness in your specific area.

SA14 9DPQ.Squirrel deterrent
In my 30 litre fruit tree containers, I'm getting a hole being burrowed down to near the bottom. I've been told it's probably squirrels causing this. I had the same problem last year, where they were stealing my seed potatoes from full 30 litres of compost in containers. How can I prevent this from happening? How do I deter the squirrels from burrowing in my containers?

Why do we have moles in our lawn after the winter/snow is gone? They make a mess and we are all summer trying to repair damaged lawn. None of our neighbours seem to have this problem.

February 27, 2019Q.mice in a raised garden
for the past 2 years I have found baby mice that are just born living in a cocoon type of covering, it is so disgusting that I don't even want to go near or plant anything in this raised garden. I have found them in the spring just when I am getting the garden ready to plant my herbs & veggies. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

March 16, 2019Q.Crows
Last year crows began coming to our backyard. I had a 24" diameter bird bath that the cardinals and blue jays loved. The crows have scared them away. We emptied the bath but the crows are still in the neighborhood. Is there any way to keep them out of our yard so the other birds will come back?

March 16, 2019A.Often, using predator urine such as fox, or coyote can help prevent these from coming around as often. Alternatively, getting a dog will keep them away! It can be difficult to deter them, so you will have to use something that they are afraid of.
