Thanks! I saw many gnawed bulbs until I turned those beds into Stalag Hyacinth with chicken wire, bricks and hot pizza pepper flakes. And the hot peppers don;t last past the first rain or two (day or two).
I'll find out if super phosphate deters neighborhood cats from confusing my raised beds with litter boxes. I understand them not wanting to use picks and mattocks to break up the local clay, after all they have no thumbs, but KEEP OUTA my beds!
I bought a "Super-Soaker" with which to make my point more persuasively, but all that accomplished was to make them slightly less languid as they saunter away ... and convince my neighbors that I'm loony and/or dangerous.
