Great info, thanks. Corn is impossible to grow in our area of zone 7A. Squirrels climb to get the ears and the stalks fall over. If we stake they still damage the corn.

Squirrels also dig up everything we plant, EVERYTHING. We have to lay down mesh to get plants started. Any fresh tilled soil is always dug up. We live in suburbia with thousands of native oaks.

We use a old cement mixer and mix grass clippings and last autumn's leaves and store it in 55 gallon trash cans for use later on.
