Four-legged, not six-legged, so I hope this is in the right place.

Something - chief suspects kounavi and moggy - occasionally burrows into my pots of Pelargoniums, shredding the whole plant in the process. Last night it was a recently-planted specimen whose pot was literally bristling with pointed sticks that proved to be no deterrent whatsoever.
I have now salvaged the remaining bits and put them back in the pot with a top-dressing of fairly chunky gravel.
Meanwhile elsewhere I'm trying chicken wire pinned down over the surface of the compost.

I've also had problems with sheep munching some shrubs in pots I naïvely put outside the gate (to gently discourage people from parking in front of it); these now contain Oleanders. Eat that, you woolly devils!
Has anyone had either of these problems and/or has another solution to suggest?
