"... In particular, the blood meal will be very effective - against both squirrels and rabbits. You can buy blood meal at your local garden supply store. Scatter the blood meal around the perimeter of your garden and in between your rows - following the package directions (Don't be stingy!) Be sure to reapply after rain or watering."
Thanks Toby Lee. Something is coming out at night to eat my tomatoes. It happened for the 2nd time this morning, when I discovered another beautiful, ripe tomato with a chunk nibbled out of it...grrr. Maybe it's the squirrel I occasionally see during the daytime. I'll try the blood meal and hope it works.
