Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

We used tiger to keep the critters out of our dumpsters in Calgary....confused
the heck out of all the pets in the neighborhood I am sure but it worked...lion
seem to as well...not so much the grizzly bear.
I no longer live in the same neighborhood as the zoo so no longer have access to
it but it is an effective deterrent. I have a cat that keeps my place pretty
much rodent free. I bell them and try to lock them up when the hummingbirds come
around. If you have to clean your well you could always drown the little
beggers....

Cheers
Bina
PS thanks for the source Jeff I have this spot of grass I want to get rid of....

Thank you, Jeff. I've been wondering where to find the vinegar!
