Garden Tools & Equipment

How do you keep bunnies / squirls eating my hostas and plants outside? Any tricks that work?

PS. I tried the spray can be purchased at Home Depot and did not work.

Moth balls are great and last a while, in addition to keeping snakes and other critters away. Just make sure releasing all the way through the garden or planting area, about a foot away or less. Red or sprinkle cayenne pepper around the edge of the garden, which will keep entering many mammals (commonly used for dogs). You will have to repeat this once a week for 3 weeks (depending on rainfall) and perhaps a once a month thereafter. Another idea would be a miniature scarecrow. As someone said, I've heard of PPL drop items that contain human scent in the garden but must be replaced each week.

Hostas $21.48 Hostas is the definitive guide to the popular hardy perennial that gardeners have come to rely upon and enjoy. Favored for their beauty and longevity, these shade-loving, low-maintenance plants bear foliage in all manner of shape, size and texture and in colors ranging from steel blue, tonal greens and yellows to multi-colored. Their long-blooming, aromatic flowers come in variations of white, pale lavender and blue-purple. The growing season for hostas stretches from early spring to late fall, and they flourish in Zone 3 -- most of the continental United States as well as populated areas of Canada and Alaska. Rosemary Barrett provides expert advice on these outstanding plants. Following a brief section on the history of hostas, she covers the various cultivars in fine detail, with topics that include: Cultivation Enhancing a garden Propagation Container-growing Landscaping Plant and tree companions Borders and beds A catalog of hostas Garden settings. Featuring lush color photographs throughout, Hostas is ideal for gardeners at all levels of expertise. (20040529)
