  • Anti Squirreling fruit trees

    If I was to put white fleece sleeves over my gage branches before the Squirrels ate the gages, do you think the gages would carry on ripening or would the Squirrels smell the gages, destroy the white mesh and scoff the gages? (they removed the poly bags, complete with fruit last year)
    Looking forward to eating a few in August/Sept, all things being equal, which they are not!

    I will be closing off the ends of the sleeves.

    Feed the soil, not the plants.
    (helps if you have cluckies)

    In the immortal words of Jasper Carrot: there's only one way to get rid of a squirrel, blow its bloody head off!

    I haven't had major squirrel problems myself, but people who have usually seem to suggest the only good solutions are to not grow things squirrels like or to go for a more permanent solution.

      Make squirrel stew . On a serious note I'd try something stronger like a wire cage. I'd suggest catch and release elsewhere but it's not legal for Grey's.
