Does anyone know if putting an old decrepit hose near the vegetables deters the rabbits, raccoons, and other critters from snacking where they’re not appreciated? I’m hoping mine looks like a snake and scares some of them off.
I don’t know about an old hose near the garden, but we found that a plastic snake on a porch roof kept the woodpeckers away! They were pecking on the house trim (before we had it covered with aluminum) & doing damage. No more woodpeckers after the snake went up - frankly, I was surprised it worked.
I think MWH was having success with a snake/hose in her garden?
