In my ongoing research on how to fight my the battle with my next door neighbor’s groundhog, I came across two blogs from experienced organic vegetable gardeners: Garden Desk (http://www.gardendesk.com/) and Veggie Gardening Tips (http://www.veggiegardeningtips.com/).
You can read two of their entertaining and informative groundhog posts here:
Garden Desk tries a scarecrow – http://www.gardendesk.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Veggie Gardening Tips talks with his groundhog (before trapping him/her) – http://www.veggiegardeningtips.com/conversations-with-a-woodchuck/#comment-55557
Follow-up: Doug over at Doug’s Green Garden (http://blog.douggreensgarden.com/) just gave me another “organic” suggestion (no guns, poisons or traps) that we’ll have to try –

This is important. I fight the darned things too.~~Dee

The problem with groundhogs is that they’re smarter than raccoons & skunks. How do I know? That’s what ended up in the trap instead of the sneaky groundhog. I’d recommend a large hunting dog, a Borzoi or an Irish Wolfhound.

You might want to check out how I control them without traps, poisons, fences etc. A good bottle or three of beer and all is under control. >http://www.beginner-gardening.com/groundhogs.html
