What can I do to keep birds away from my fish pond?
Sorry, keep them from my container garden- tomatoes. bell peppers, green beans
Hi Carol! So, you have a few options. First of all, look around where the container garden is - are there trees with things that squirrels like to eat very close? If yes, you should consider pruning the tree so it's farther back, and/or relocating your pots. Also, you can put chicken wire around the actual plants themselves. Another thing that people swear by is to sprinkle Cayenne Pepper around the plants and do it every few days. Squirrels don't like it :)
