Critter control

[Guest guest]

OK, I get it. Are tootsie roll pieces

more effective than peanut butter?

I don't as a rule buy that sort of stuff

and don't really crave it, but if we do have

it in the house, like around Halloween, I

eat it. That's the last thing I need.

Will Power and I have never gotten along.

 

As for the humanitarian issues: we are

part of Nature. She's a killer.

Paradoxically, when we try to be totally

nonviolent we remove ourselves even more

from Nature.

 

I would prefer to have my garden space

organically controlled by sister Coyote,

whose diet is largely rodent based. But

these days we have to have a fence to keep

the deer out. I have tried to commune with

said deer and come to an agreement, like,

they take no more than 20% of everything,

but they insisted on mowing down any green

shoot.

 

If I knew how to handle a gun I would have

no qualms at filling the freezer, but aim is

not one of my skills.

 

After years of almost no garden we finally

have a decent fence again, and now we get

these * & ^% !!! rodents. Suffering bugs me,

killing does not. It is their role to be prey.

 

I may surround the potato plot with Cayenne

powder.

How about a couple ole barnyard cats to patrol the garden area - they tend to

not have a big problem with fences either! Deb
