JuneOntario said:You could try dusting the container with hot pepper (Hungarian hot paprika works well, but needs to be renewed frequently), or topping the soil with a layer of sharp-edged gravel. Either would deter animals from digging in the container. I'm not sure what would pull a plant right out, although a raccoon might do so by accident. They generally just like to feel around in loose dirt, looking for buried treasure. I once had a fox dig up some perennials and bulbs - it was attracted by the smell of the bone meal fertilizer I had used when planting.
