Nothing is more satisfying in the garden than thwarting an enemy: in this case, the neighborhood squirrels. Years ago I bought a "squirrel proof" bird feeder at Wal-Mart and I have been able to enjoy squirrel antics without them emptying the feeder.
It's too wide for them to reach in, and the lid is a slippery slope that they (repeatedly) slide off of. If they try to jump onto the feeding ledge, their weight causes the opening to close. Brilliant! And entertaining. Every year the new kids on the block figure they will be able to solve it, but none ever has.
