My problem is not that the mice eat my tubers. My problem is that they had gotten into the walls and ceiling of my headhouse and made a stinking mess. I need to prevent them from doing that again. +More -Ken Marek Argent wrote: > Hello, > > Have you heard about so perfect beings as Cats? :) > > I plant my most valuable tubers in plastic pots that are used for > aquatic culture, > with holes in all the surface.
