    Any suggestions on getting rid of hose eating critters and suds? :eek:

    What a mess your hose is in. :eek: Do you know what has been munching on it? Maybe smear it with a pepper solution and hope that does the trick.

    Love the look of your 'bubble bath.' :D Hopefully the suds will disperse on their own.

    That's a shame about the hose. Did it get chewed all the way through?
    Too late now, but I undo the hose I have like that and put it in the garage when I am not using it. So easy to store.
    As for the bubbles, it can be a "spa". Critters can come get all cleaned up! :D

    The hose is no more. But I think it will make a great tomato cage.

    I think someone was very thirsty to try to eat the whole hose....Why didn't you put a glass of water out there? That would fix it.....

    I hope the garden hose chewer is a one time affair. I can't imagine the hose being tasty. Some rodents chew on just about anything but usually in the dead of winter when food is scarce. The scrubbing bubble picture reminds me of the washing machine comedy skits when they put in too much soap.

    Barb, I have three fountains and two birdbaths full of water out there. I think something was cutting teeth.

    Jerry, I think the gnomes are hot tubing at night. I heard giggles around midnight.

    I would suspect a rodent going after salt from your hands.
