Local mouser maybe they need more shelter or belly scratches

Squirrels around here create mess in my garden, so I mulched with leaves and then placed plastic netting on top and this has worked for me
I have rabbits around as well. we expect a 10% loss and overplant. Not my place to say no, I like hanging on my farm too
Its good to share, my issue is not that the squirrels eat what I grow (they don’t touch majority of what I grow ) it’s just that they just dig around and wreck the plants
If you have any nut trees close try gathering some and try setting those out in piles gradually away from your garden. Every day move the next pile a little further away.
