something digging in my plants
Comments (10)I'm having the same problem! I don't think I'm quite the gardner all of you seem to be, but I like having nice flowers in the spring and summer so I have a barrel in my front yard that I planted with spikes and petunias. Since I planted them last week, I keep having to go and re-plant them b/c something is digging through my barrel. Help!! We have squirrels (with huge attitudes!), racoons, chipmunks - the whole bit. Is there anything I can put on the soil to repel these little buggers????...See Morewhat is digging up my new plants?
Comments (2)I also have been going thru that,live out in country. One nite it was a skunk. We also have racoons and opposoms. If you live where ther is squirrels they will also dig. Good luck I know it was a skunk because we got a soluntion we put out and real sorry to say it kills the wild creatures but not dog or cats I am now trying d hot pepper...See Moresomething's digging up but not eating
Comments (3)I've had squirrels dig up newly planted flowers before. When they start, they seem to keep coming back to dig again and again. The only way I stopped them was to put down a bit of chicken wire on top of the soil around the plants. They don't like digging through the wire so they quit.

Comments (8)A pruning saw (or any small saw) will cut through roots too thick for pruners. A small spade will cut better with your weight on it than a large wide one (the stiletto heel principle). Then rock the plant from side to side- and cut more roots underneath it. How about inviting some friends round for a gardening party (a bit like a paint party when you get them to help decorate the house), and you provide the refreshments. Tell them it's a "green gym"....See Moregeoforce
