I posted a thread a while ago about a fox burying a chickens egg (so I read) to retrieve later. I then sowed veg seed only to find a hole 3wks later where the fox has dug to find its egg. I then resowed (for a 2nd time)veg seeds only to find again albeit it a small hole  in the same bed. So I'm wondering shall l I just replace the egg and hope the fox will then leave me alone or ignore it?

It may be an old wife's tale but it is said that if you put hair clippings inside an old stocking and hang them around your fence line this will stop the fox from entering.

Its one we tried, along with the other male only repellant, when we had the chickens here. :)

I got Jim to supply plenty of male repellent by forcibly pouring lashings of tea into him but after spinkling this around our garden we sadly found out that it doesn't work on Mink, not had any foxes though  ::)

My post from last year:
http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=79030.0


I will be putting my frame/net/fox-trampoline up again in a week or two and fingers crossed they won’t be back this year.

Male repellent did work to a certain extent by the rains didn’t help.

my uncle's got a fox hole dug into his very small veggie plot. they wanted to fill it up but i told them not to, as it may contain cubs we checked by poking a stick and throwing stones in it but no signs but i told them to leave it alone. assuming there are no cubs in there i told them to pee around to stop the fox coming near here and i think they thought i was having a laugh  :wub:

looks like regular male repellent is a preventive measure, so tea's all round  :D.
