I was hoping the increased fox and owl population had taken care of the rabbit population, but I guess I can't expect them to eat every single rabbit.Commonweederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913336590036045901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-28815933915539039502013-07-22T10:39:33.734-04:002013-07-22T10:39:33.734-04:00Kris ~ So far, so good!

Good luck with yours!<br /><br /><b>Rose ~ </b>It's working so far!<br /><br /><b>Dawn ~ </b>I did plant squash among the sweet corn, but not everywhere. It's a large sweet corn patch and if I planted squash all around it, oh myyyyyy, we'd have enough squash for the entire county. LOL! I didn't plant it for that reason, but I did just read that they don't like it.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-34943819665388661262013-07-22T10:34:16.973-04:002013-07-22T10:34:16.973-04:00Kylee did you plant squash around your sweet corn ...Kylee did you plant squash around your sweet corn beds?

I couldn't remember what kind of music worked best, though--the headbanging rock sounds like a good choice:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-89653099867031167622013-07-21T16:17:48.493-04:002013-07-21T16:17:48.493-04:00I was attracted to your blog when I saw the title ...I was attracted to your blog when I saw the title of this post on another blog. I've also had problems with raccoons, which I've posted about on my own blog. However, I hadn't considered that they might go after my corn, which I'm growing for the 1st time this year. I've used non-toxic repellent granules fairly successfully elsewhere so I'm headed out now to scatter some about the corn. Thanks for the heads-up. You'll have to provide an update as to whether the rock radio works.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-43867358925613810092013-07-21T16:12:55.064-04:002013-07-21T16:12:55.064-04:00I was attracted to your blog when I saw the title ...I was attracted to your blog when I saw the title of this post on another blog. I've had a persistent problem with raccoons, which I've written about a few times on my own blog. What really frightened me was the notion that they might go after my corn, which I'm growing this year for the 1st time. I've been using non-toxic repellant granules in other areas but hadn't thought to add them to my raised veg beds. I'm going to do that now! You'll have to post an update as to whether the rock radio works - I'd be willing to try that too, although I'm not sure how my neighbors would feel about it.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
