Apparently planting a hedge of hot chiles around your farm keeps the elephants out. Those guys make and sell condiments from the peppers. -- modom ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

Must be because I don't have any peppers planted in it. You'd think they'd get stuck by all the cactii I have planted, though. :-) -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Monday, 07(VII)/14(XIV)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- I'm busier than a one-eyed cat watching two mouseholes. ------------------------------------------- |

I read once that hot chiles in bird seed will keep squirrels out of the bird feeder -- at first. But when the lil buggers get hungry enough, they'll eat hot seeds. Then once they get used to the spicy stuff, they prefer it to regular seeds. I can't footnote this, however. -- modom ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
