[SustainableTompkins] garden squirrel repellant

[Thomas Shelley]

Jan--Me too.  I mean "rodent conflict"!  Some *&#%$@# critters, probably 
squirrels or racoons, got all but two of my tomatoes!  I mean literally 
two...  I probably had 200 tomatoes on a whole bunch of plants and just as 
they began to get ripe, something ate them.  This year I'm gonna build a 
chicken wire cage, about 10' x 10' and 6' tall and raise my tomatoes in the 
cage.  I can raise catnip there two.  The neighborhood cats are a real 
pest.  And they are constantly diggin up my mulch and pooping in it.  Any 
ideas for cat repellent?  Can I get a quart of dog urine from you?  That 
might work?  8>)    Take care.    Tom

"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present 
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own 
needs."

MY NOTE:  Sustainable development does not mean "sustainable growth" as 
growth per se is not sustainable.  And the term "sustainable" has to mean 
"for a very long time" (A. Bartlett).
