yeah ...you have to fence them out ..i never throw away broken glass...it all gets boxed
for a rainy ground hog day...same as nails and anything else sharp like old razor blades,
utility knife blades too....skill saw blades (use your imagination) so you dig a trench around the garden about sixteen inches deep and wide saving the good top soil for the garden beds and then you put down an L shaped piece of chicken wire and attach that to your regular green squares roll fencing with bailing wire from the feed store. then you take the wheel barrow and scrounge up some rocks ...crumbly rock is perfect and anchor it down in there and as you back fill it with everything imaginable you salt in the NASTIES so when they try and dig under they encounter it and go OUCH ! crap! yow! takes awhile sure, but you'll have time to kill waiting for things to pop and just try and do 6-10 feet at a time.
no need to kill yourself in a single day. ground hogs almost appear every day at the exact time in the morning like an alarm clock and once you spot them say on a saturday ....while sitting in that window patiently waiting having coffee whatever...
watch for them with binoculars. when you find their burrow either shove a hose in there and drown them or PLUG it up with a boulder to keep pissing them off...take a leak down their hole before ya plug it. IF they never quit, i have a twenty two you can borrow... then blast em... ya might have to shoot from inside the house though to muffle the blast then go outside and bang loudly on sumthin LOL
