Official Squatch Watchers

Hi everybody

Saw a piglet(?), baby groundhog, freeing itself from my garden net. Sigh! I hate to use this stuff, but my garden is getting eaten as soon as something starts to grow
I really dont know what to do.

Are groundhogs able to climb?
Maybe chicken wire cages around all the baby plants?
Row covers on long rows?

Henny, they can climb like a dang monkey.
Rhonda scares the poop out of me when she vaults the chain link fence it sounds like a person hopped over.

As a kid I thought I shot a giant squirrel out of a tree. I was disappointed to find a young ground hog. Didn't care for the taste

Good afternoon Fishy sorry the ground jobs are eating your garden

I have premier chick shock or not around part of the poultry yard. I was going to put it around the garden. The bottom has 3/4 in net on the bottom. The squirrels and rabbits jump up and through the bigger squares, of course if the chick's see that they copy.

I have now learned that A. I don't want a groundhog around here and B. Those are some agile little monsters.

I have no idea how to keep them out and still allow human access other than Mo's suggestion of electric fencing or individual plant cages.

 

[Chickassan]

They sell granules that will keep them out but you have to reapply after it rains.
They don't like perfume or cologne or strong soaps.
They're like skunks above average nose and tender feet.

They both think they are supposed to be Batman. Only one is right.
