  Thank you for this great video!  Here I have squirrels, so I'll put a top on it so the critters don't climb up and then down into the inside.

  Thanks for the idea. I can't help but wonder why there's 5 people who gave a thumbs down so far. People with issues I guess.

  fantastic idea!   Deer like to munch on my garden - this may not help completely but will definitely deter a little bit at least!

  I've been doing the same thing....I thought I came up with this idea!!!!  Works well for sunflower sprouts in the garden.

  I have trouble with hornworms in the tomatoes and squirrels in just about everything. I bought some "fruit protectors" online, which are finely woven plastic bags with ties. The mesh is so fine that nothing much can get through except air and water. I bought three sizes, and am using them on loquats (squirrel's favorite), oranges and peaches. The trick is to tie them securely like you would tie your shoe, in a bow, and tight, tight, tight. The squirrels are frustrated, and I am eating some loquats for the first time in many years. They can have the top of the tree and I'll take most of the bottom. But I am using them also in completely covering plastic pots, using wooden skewers I get at the dollar store to provide an inner bag structure so the wind doesn't flatten them. So far, so good. Be careful not to cover flowers that still need pollinating though. Wait until the fruit sets. They don't cost much, and can be used season after season.
