In addition to my tomato plants, I also have several bird feeders in my yard. Last year, a couple squirrels discovered they could jump down onto the main feeder and gobble up the goodies. This year, one silly gal has developed a sweet tooth and will drain the hummingbird feeder if I don't chase her away!
Then I started feeding them too when I fill up the birdfeeders. I have a tray feeder stuck in the ground on the other side of my yard. When I feed the birds, I put out a couple scoops of the cheap birdseed for the squirrels. They seem satisfied with that, and I have not had any digging in my tomatoes. Although it could also be that the don't like the garlic I planted in the same containers as the tomatoes!
