I have a small garden so I was especially frustrated to see that the squirrels started knocking off and eating my tomatoes! I tried several of the other deterrents like aluminum foil which seemed to work a bit but they were still getting in and spoiling my (small) crop. I finally came up with a solution that so far has worked like a charm. I take plastic zip lock sandwich bags, make slits on the sides, middle and bottom. I slipped the bag under each group of tomatoes and slid the top on both sides to hold them in place. It's been over a week and so far NO MORE THEFTS! I'm cautiously optimistic that it's working, but I understand it may not be for others with larger gardens. Good luck everyone
