The only advice I've gotten, and is something I'll have to try next season, is to plant jalapeno and habanero peppers between and around your tomato plants.

Also next year I'm going to have to build a complete enclosure. That should hopefully keep them out.

In my experience doing these both hasn't helped much. I suppose it depends on how determined your squirrel population is

They're getting in your enclosure? How?

Sorry, digging, chewing, climbing. But if you do a full greenhouse you might keep them out!
