>>>What is the best way to keep animals from wanting the seeds?
in all probability you'll never stop them _wanting_ to munch on your stuff - that's Mom Nature at work.....
do you have any idea what kind of critters you're up against? sounds a bit like squirrels or perhaps chipmunks - if they're digging in pots/starter flats.
repellents concoctions & folk methods for rabbits, deer, etc. abound abound abound.
perhaps the most successful is a physical barrier - put some hardware cloth over the pots/flats and weight it down - double bricks - squirrels are very persistent.
I have used 12 inch wide "strips" of hardware cloth when direct seeding to keep the squirrels from digging. of course, as stuff starts to sprout, timing is _everything_
cayenne pepper is also supposed to be a wonderful mammal repellent. my results are mixed. |
