Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007Way OT - Tomato Plant Question
How do I keep squirrels away from my tomato plants? This is my first time growing, and I am having good results until now. They are in buckets, and doing great, except now for the squirrels. I don't really want to use pesticides, but I heard something about moth balls...how does that work, or any suggestions? Thanks, Kris I am sorry Kris, but I havent the foggiest idea. I live on the 23rd floor and there are no squirrels up here and come to think of it, there are no tomato plants either. lol Loretta >How do I keep squirrels away from my tomato plants?

Well, for starters, you can't really keep squirrels out if they want to eat something. Are they actually eating the tomatoes? Or just digging in the dirt? My philosophy is to feed them and hopefully keep them away from where I don't want them. They love fresh corn. Sometimes I'll toss out a couple of ears of corn. Or a handful of shelled nuts. Giving them nuts in the shell sort of defeats the purpose because they will bury them, most likely in your buckets. I've tried dried corn. They are supposed to like that but they don't seem to. > > How do I keep squirrels away from my tomato plants? This is my first time > > growing, and I am having good results until now.

Around here, the squirrels act quite resentful if I plant things in their deck planters. They seem to be especially fond of lettuce seedlings, but arugula is too bitter for them. I eat a lot of arugula in the early springtime.

Perhaps the reason my veggies remain untouched...except for having to replant the cukes three times due to slugs, is that I have onions planted around the edge of most of the boxes? I learned this trick years ago and it keeps away most pests. They don't like the onions. > How do I keep squirrels away from my tomato plants?

I know that moth balls repel some rodents, but the only tomato plants I have are in an EarthBox on my patio and the smell would repel me, too! OTOH, if I wanted to use them, I guess they could sit on top of the plastic cover, avoiding leaching into the soil. So far, squirrels haven't touched my maters; only the cherry ones are ripening.

You leave cat food out for the feral cats? Don't you know how much damage they do and they are carriers of feline leukemia and other diseases? Feeding them is illegal in many areas, as it should be. The local humane society puts them in cat cages when they are brought in. If they are easily socialized to people they are put up for adoption after being spayed or neutered. The rest are euthanized. I have heard of a couple of places where they catch them, sterilize them and release them back into the wild.

I came around a corner in my back yard a month or so ago, and there was the woodchuck, looking like he was in deep conversation with the alpha feral cat. At first I addressed them as I do the cats, in a reasonable tone, and then the penny finally dropped that that was the WOODCHUCK and he was eating ALL my PARSLEY and was the reason I can't grow LETTUCE, and then I started yelling.
