Chicken wire - either
* dig your garden area a foot down & lay the chicken wire over it,
then put the dirt back on top of the chicken wire
* or make wire "vases" to put each plant in then put the 'wrapped'
plant in the ground
* or use old plastic containers like soap buckets, etc - cut then
down, poke drain holes in them, put plant in them, then put in ground with a
little bit of the container above the ground to make a lip to help hold
water in plant area

Subject: [CH] coffee grounds and *#@!!hogs
hi!
i need a great big huge shoulder to cry on! my first outdoor not in a
container in the windowsill garden was devastated this afternoon. this
morning it was fine. decided i needed to stake the tomatoes. when i got
back from giving some extra pepper plants to by brother (aren't too nice) my
garden was missing. something ate all of my parsley, heirloom tomatoes and
cilantro( all grown from seed of course). :( :( :( the only bright note
in this day is that my pepper plants were untouched. i just received from
cross country nursery some datils, mirasols, and devils tongues that hadn't
been planted but were on the patio. beautiful plants- the only reason i
haven't quite lost it. i just finished watering the plants with a very very
strong solution of hot pepper water and placing a few moth balls around the
perimeter. my grand parents were farmers from poland before they moved to
the us to avoid ww2. my grandmother always put eggshells and coffee grounds
in her garden. she had the best garden. now i know why and i can say that
it really works.
thanks for listening to me- i am really upset. i hear fox urine keeps
ground hogs away.
cheryl
