Black plastic garbage bags work well because they're thick and will withstand a few digs before the squirrel will give up.Cover the top of the pot with chicken wire or smaller. This will make the dirt harder to get at.Leave food (peanuts, sunflower seeds or cracked corn). Be sure to place far away from your plants.Plant flowers that are naturally distasteful to squirrels.
