Squirrels + Bog = #@%&*

So. I have a couple of squirrels digging in my little bog garden. I've just set it up and haven't even completely planted it yet. It’s basically the "hole in ground, line with plastic, fill with peat, plant carnivores" type of setup. Last year I trapped a few squirrels and took em a ride to the other side of the river and let them go. But we all know how nature abhors a vacuum so now I have more. And to make matters worse, my neighbor keeps feeding them so they always have plenty of nuts or whatever to bury.

Sorry for the rant but does anyone have any "non-pellet gun" type suggestions for discouraging them from digging up my bog garden?

Ps. I tried a rubber snake. Keeps the birds away but not the squirrels

FidoShock - it's a small electric fence. I had to put mine back up to keep the raccoons out. It works for all critters.
