Re: [miniaturerockgardens] Disappointed

From: "Lisa and Al Flaum" <osthill@htc.net>

Dear Diana,

I live in the country and plant a lot of bulbs.  My
favorite defense against
maurading critters is a combination of baby powder and
garlic cloves right in
the planting hole.  Garlic might not work in a trough,
but the baby powder
would be worth a try.
