Wrote 2-3 books on the system. Janet Gillespie wrote the above book. Somehow I think it's Peacock Manure and Marigolds, but I might be wrong. In it she mentions a old folks way to get rid of woodchucks (some places called groundhogs). I've used the method twice and it works, but I'm hesitant to post it because I don't want to be laughed (or flamed) off the Net. Pat
