Does the greenhouse cover protect the plants from squirrels, deer, and other critters that eat veggies gardens?

There is a space between the cover and the raised garden sides, this is for ventilation. Critters could easily get in there. The cover is only intended for extending the garden season a few weeks in early spring or late fall when there may be a chilly day or night. It is no high enough for a full season of growth, I had to remove mine as it gets too hot after early spring and then used it again in the fall for a second planting of some cool weather veggies.

The cover leaves about 2 inches exposed around the edge for ventilation, so it protects mist of the space, however, the purpos

I don't think deer could get in there, but squirrels and other little woodland creatures could definitely squeeze their way in if they wanted too.

This product is designed to be sprayed on leaves, stems, flowers and branches to deter squirrels, rabbits and deer. It should not be applied directly to hard surfaces such such as patio furniture.

I think it would. I placed it on top of my gardening "cage". I live in California and need to protect most of my flowers and veggies from the deer. It has done a great job of just cutting the full sun, allows some thru but all of my plants seem to get enough light. It is however, quite large!

I have a plastic guard over it so it doesn't get wet and the seed ruined. No squirrel problems whatsoever.

Are you trying to protect from rain or squirrels? The cover it has is enough to protect the seed and squirrels dont seem to bother with this feeder.

We have squirrels and so far they have not done anything to the turf. They do eat bird seeds that fall from the feeder onto the turf, but I see no damage. Maybe my squirrels are not into damage.

I don't think the sun will harm the cover.The only problem I've had is with chipmonks and squirrels gnawing holes in it. No rodents= no problem.

Didn't work for me in the veg garden. I resorted to using a product called Rabit Scram. It's granuals that you sprinkle around the area you want to protect.

No, it does not. I put a weed block down first and then put the greenhouse over it. Worked great.

yes it comes with a cover, and you can take the cover off once the seeds start sprouting to give them more exposure to light to "green" up ...

We have deer in the yard constantly on winter nights. Hang the feeder high near a window, and the deer don't touch it. Squirrels will try, however!

Hi Lynn,The Yard sentinel does effectively repel deer, squirrel and chipmunks. Although squirrel and chipmunks can often be deterred by the same frequency, deer tend to be effected by the lower end of ultrasonic sound.For best results at repelling multiple species at the same time, try the "continuous sweep" setting. This will allow the unit to randomly cycle through all of the available frequencies rather then targeting a specific pest!Regards,Rick JCustomer ServiceDeal Republic

I do not have mine over plants,but it is a solid cover keeping the sun out.

I think you're on the right track but it sure sounds like a lot of work to keep those little buggers away from the new sprouts. Regarding the wet ground and discharge, I'm not sure. My installation with two wire mesh screens on top of the bird feeder keeps the squirrels off and I notice that when the snow covers the screens, the batteries seem to keep a charge going, although they may be running down a little faster. Wish I could be of more help.

Yes. Heather's husband, by the way...I have kept mine in the field for weeks. Have used it it all weather conditions and have remained warm and dry all season. great protection from wind and water. like any tent though, the water drops are a little noisy from the inside. Animals definitely do not notice you through the mesh windows. Squirrel and rabbits come close enough to grab...seriously. Three deer came within 15 feet of me two weeks ago. I definitely recommend this product.

They lay eggs on the underside of leaves not the vegetables, so unless you're eating lettuce from the garden it shouldn't be an issue

No - if your composting vegetation (no meet) there doesn't seem to be much animal attraction. Occasionally mice get in, but if you stir your compost regularly, that would take care of that (I'm not a regular mixer of compost). I also put flat patio blocks around my composter that seems to prevent digging. But, if you do that, make sure that you're not blocking air flow. It's best to put them flush with the ground. And I don't recommend putting an impervious bottom below the composter. I like the worms and insects to get in and help the decay.
