What can I do to deter the ground hogs, armadillos, and skunks from getting into my yard or garden?

There are many safe remedies in deterring pesty wildlife and the internet is a good source of information. Sites like www.doityourself.com/scat/wildlifec and www.livingwithwildlife.org offers a lot of information on a variety of topics regarding the wildlife. Specific plants can be protected by sprinkling them with Epsom salts (needs re-application after every rain) or covering them with fabric or gallon milk jugs with the bottoms removed. Or try placing rags soaked in ammonia on posts placed at intervals around the perimeter of the garden. The odor is enough to deter most unwanted visitors. The rags must be re-soaked when the smell of ammonia fades. Read more: www.doityourself.com/scat/wildlifec.
