The Nose Knows

Q: Is there a product that will stop skunks from eating the buds of the tulips?
A: I'm sure there are all kinds of products that are supposed to keep skunks from digging up bulbs. These kinds of products always sound good but usually have limited effectiveness. I think the most reliable way is to put some screening over the bulbs so the skunks can't dig into the area. Of course you'll need to have an opening for the leaves to emerge and have the screening secured to the soil so it can't be moved. Sorry, but I don't have any better recommendations. Good luck.
