How do you keep squirrels from disturbing plants? I have planted impatients in pots as well as tomatoes, basil, broccoli, and lettuce, but these pests will go into the pots and dig and disturb the plants. It is very annoying. I know that these critters have in the past buried nuts in the soil in the pots and they are digging looking for the nuts. What can you do to prevent this from happening?

I have many squirrels in my gardens. Put a bird feeder with sunflower seeds and peanuts in a tree and they will eat them and not bother your plants anymore.

Go to your local salon and ask if they have cut hair that you can have. Sprinkle it around your plants, it will have human scent which will scare the squirrels away.
