Save Your Harvest!

Don’t panic but… squirrels, chipmunks, and birds are eyeing your garden right now!

There’s nothing worse then heading out to harvest only to find out a ‘friend’ has beat you to it.  Here are some simple solutions that make use of household items.

Predators from the Ground

If you have squirrels, chipmunks or any other ground-dwelling thieves helping themselves to your crops, try this:

• Grab plastic forks from your "takeout cutlery" drawer

• Place them around your plants with the prongs facing out

• Vary forks at different heights to create a fortress of security against these pesky visitors

Predators from the Sky

If ‘angry birds’ are your pest problem, try using this old-school trick:

• Grab a CD/CD-ROM from that dusty pile in the closet

• Thread string through the center hole, then hang it above your crop

• The rainbow reflection and movement catches sunlight, deterring birds from swooping in for a snack

Whenever I’m tending to my garden, I add a handful of my secret weapon: Probiotics for Plants Worm Manure.

It feeds the soil ecosystem the right nutrients at the right time, so plants grow back stronger--no matter what Mother Nature throws at them!
