Squirrels eating rhizomes!


Hi everyone!

The other day I found a partially eaten bearded iris rhizome that had been
deposited in the middle of the lawn.  Looks like one of my new irises
because I checked the old bed thoroughly.   I think the squirrels did it
because I haven't seen any rabbits out yet in our area, and those are the
only wildlife we have.   Does anyone know how to repel the squirrels?
Should I just use heavier soil that packs down better?  The old bed has
heavier soil than the new one.
