Ok I just read an article that Mint planted around the house will deter critters from coming by...My question is this..I know somewhere on this site someone was using mint as a majority of their composted material...Are they critter free?? I think it was Bret Hester but not sure. I got these woodchucks and they gotta go.

The chucks are easy, to leg trap. Would that be permitted or could the act be hidden from peering eyes. If that is attractive send me an E for method of set if you wish. I will not go public with these instructions.

Not sure aobut the idea of getting rid of critters, but you are right about brett. I watched a DVD today from the Elk Grove Seminar and Jack LaRue also said he uses mint.

Grow em big Chuck!

I have chucks. They are fed lead and trapped both. Seven in my surburban back yard last year. One had the stupidity to dig a hole with the intent to stay. That was a bad decision on it's part.
