They can dig out from under the concrete blocks.
I had to put pavers and bricks around them to deter that.

I have a bag that I bought at HD but have not used it. Even if it is foamy, once it is dry, I do not think they will be able to peck at it so hard.
Around the run on top of the skirt, I was planning to put river rocks.

Rain just rolled through….followed by bright sun and I’m sure more humidity…..and likely mosquitos.

I hope I do not call the mosquitoes this way but I have not seen one in years since I have been in Michigan.

I would use pavers before using that product, especially if it's old.

Best not to put anything on top of skirt, got it down good and flat then let the grass grow up thru it.

I agree with aart. Just let the grass grow and you won't know it's there. Anyways, the grass will come up thru the rocks and you'll have to pull out the rocks in the near future and it's a PITA to pull grass with the rocks.

My love, I am over 50. By the way, there is still one fully functioning in San Juan area. We had the ones from the sugar cane fields. You could never scared those away. They stick to you like a goat to a nipple.
