In response to readers’ questions, this column Is for
readers who have questions but don’t know who to ask
for the answers. In the past, many readers sent non
cooking requests to Cook’s Question Corner, a cooking
column on page B 8.
“You Asik You Answer” is for non-cooking ques
tions. The concept is the same: When a reader sends in a
question, Ilf will be printed In the paper. Readers who
know the answer are asked to respond by mailing the
answer, which will then be printed In the paper.
Questions and answers to this column should be
addressed to You Ask You Answer, Lou Ann Good,
P.O. Box 609, Ephrata, PA 17522.

ANSWER Marie Loy of Pine Grove wanted to know how
to keep rabbits from eating garden plants. Also, voles have
eaten all the tulip bulbs in her garden. Thanks to Jackie Dll
worth, Oxford, who writes that thorny pieces of rose or rasp
berry prunmgs should be placed over young shoots and
around plants. Rabbits do not like to step on these clippings
and will forage elsewhere. Another reader asks the barber for
hair clippings to place in the garden. Rabbits avoid areas
where human hair is placed according to several people.
To keep tulips or other bulbs from moles and voles, plant
bulbs in wire cages in the ground.
