how to prevent a squirrell from eating the flowers and messing up the garden?
Organically? I use crushed red hot pepper flakes. I sprinkle them around the plants and bulbs. When a critter smells the pepper flakes they run the other way!
You will not deter Grey Squirrels, they are persistent pests. If you have Red Squirrels you are extremely fortunate, and they are protected by law. Grey Squirrels ? I just shoot them.
A little water with red pepper in it, sprayed on the flowers.
If the're bulbs plant gumballs(sugar maple) with bulbs. The squirrel feels the points on gumballs and leaves. If the're blooming buy an outside cat.NO Squirrels!
