Larry, there is no good solution to this problem. As soon as it starts
getting warm enough for the hostas to start coming up I will start squirting
the crowns with the pepper spray that comes in the red bottle.
You can make your own with a half gallon of warm water, large jar of hot
sauce (Sam's has the cheap price) and six eggs, all mixed in a blender.
Blend until you can get it to go through a sprayer. I suggest that if you
are going to keep this mixture you should refrigerate.
I try to pick up my dogs droppings and put them in the beds, I may borrow
some doo from my neighbors as I have small dogs.
I am going to try maligonite or whatever that stuff is that is made from
sewer waste that is sold as fertilizer.
I will shoot any rabbits taht I can get a clear aim at, so I guess I should
start Zeroing in the pellet gun.
We are getting a fair amount of hawks in our neighborhood and I could swear
that I saw a fox in the backyard the other morning, very early. We have owls
too. The rabbits have become more stealth in the last couple of years.
Persistence and a hard heart is what is needed here! N.
