Groundhogs however <_< the last time I caught a groundhog scavenging our garden, I threw a tortilla or something, he scrambled and smashed into the fence, then climbed away. Groundhogs and wild hares both carry a lot of really nasty and potentially fatal diseases like tularemia, hantavirus, and leptospirosis. Mowing a moist lawn full of hare turds can send the tularemia airborne and give you pneumonia (tularemia is most commonly contracted through direct contact with hares and hare feces) LonelyStoner posted... My wildlife professor lets his lawn grow wild every year to support pollinators and other beneficial species. Nothing trashy about it. He needs to not be lazy and plant a native garden instead (which requires pulling of nonnative weeds); that is exponentially better for pollinators. Make sure to get come Curcurbits in there for the squash bees. <cite>Hyena_Of_Ice posted [p:980147664] in Why are da...
