What sort of problems??

All I end up with is numerous oak & hazel seedlings.

[Blue Bird]

It seems they like to dig every thing up especially onions and eating corn!!!

[Tee Gee]

Are you sure it is sqirrels? sounds more like foxes to me, they love bulbs of any description, have you seen them?.

As I understand it, squirrels only dig where they have cached something, but then again I am not up with the habits of squirrels. ???

[Blue Bird]

It seem that they just dig them up as well as leaving acorns in other parts.  They are every where on the outskirts of the site as there is quite a few trees (next to the grave yard)

I have seen them when I have been on site.

Must admit I think of they as rats with busy tails ! >:(

We have a few squirrels the buggers nicked some of my sweetcorn in the summer, but it's the birds here that dig the onions, press in firmly or cover and shouldn't be a problem.

Tree Rats is quite a common name on our plots!
