This will work.  Haven't had experience with the coyote thing, but read (in
Organic Gardening) a number of years ago, that the same is true of human
urine.  Being besieged by racoons in the corn patch at the time, I went out
on a dark night ........ and the racoon damage ceased.  

Actually, I am envious of the person with the problem because I now have
just a small raised bed for a few chiles and a few other plants.

Running on chile power, Frank
