Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Bruce, It's only funny if they are not decimating YOUR garden….. Did you ever see the movie: Never Cry Wolf? If so, do you remember the scene where the main character decides to try living on the most prolific species available…..mice? There's a shot of him in his tent, chewing slowly with a mouse's tail hanging out of his mouth surrounded by little mice watching him with trepidation…. send me your address so I will know where to send the ground hogs….. mara > I hadn't been following this thread until I just decided to see what its status had become. My overactive funnybone was going to recommend that, as years ago, chocolate covered ants was considered to be a dietary treat, I was going to suggest a spicy Mexican meal with guacamoled fire ants as a side dish or a dip. Now I see that the fire ants have morphed into ground hogs. As Mel Gibson's character in " The Patriot " proclaimed that " dog makes a fine meal ! " , perhaps the same is true for ground hogs ?;-))))) Their name implies, they may not be Kosher. perhaps marinading them in DMSO " CURES " this delemma ?;-))))) Funny bone signing off, for now ! OINK ! OINK !

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Build sunspace. Grow indoors. Mel Bartholemew's " Square Foot Gardening " doesn't take much room. Nope, didn't see the movie. Perhaps, " mouse makes a fine h'ordoerve (sp) " ?;-))))) Sorta, " Mickey on a Ritz " ?;-))))) Send the rodeo rodents to the Warren for Senate campaign in Cambridge, MA. She'll plagiarize some " Native American " recipe. Roasted rodent with (stolen) chili ! The Boston Herald's Howie Carr will have a field day LOL ! Chow, for now !

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Absolutely the way to go. I already am doing Square Food Gardening. I'm currently renting so don't have a sunspace, but it is in the " plan " . But in the meantime I am waging war on critters…. mara > Build sunspace. Grow indoors.
