Aad your comment cracked me up, recon ive been laughing for 10 min : ) To those who are still reading, I love a biological approach to these sort of things & I live in the wilderness so outsmarting the little critters here in the Australian bush is challenging to say the least... from old man bush turkey who loves to build his 2m high & 4m wide nest with every last scratching, out smarted him from digging out hundreds bulbs by accident, by re-digging the spoon drain edges & cover up any mulch, disgusted by this he takes his ruffled black feathers & bright red & yellow noggin else where : ) I met some squirrels when I was I USA & they seemed the sort of cute little cheeky animals that would eat anything, but I have used the following method to stop other animals running a buck & continually digging out my bulbs to eat worms & stuff... I look things they don't like eating & pulp some up with a little peppermint & or clove essential oil & some chilli, garlic or ginger.... can be dried & sprinkled where the animals are being a pest & ive found it very discouraging, can be juiced & mixed into a spray but doesn't last very long, my dose is random depending on how frustrated I am with their shenanigans & its not 100% fool proof but it helps reduce the problem with heaps of species for me.. Ants don't like it too....
