Fox hole

You wont.... they'll dig themselves out if they are in there which is probably unlikely.

I have a patch of soil that held a compost heap for years - the soil is wonderful there - presently I have a small stack of old timber (remnants of a replaced shed) there along side of a path.

There are now four fox holes! Despite filling in and poking barbed rose-prunings into the holes the foxes keep coming back for more and digging it all out again. 

I had thought of setting up a hide and going into business offering "nature view" sessions for those so inclined to turn up late with a torch and a flask. 

It's probably been there about a month and I haven't had much of a sniff I must admit.

Thanks I'll have a closer look at the weekend.
These are hard Walthamstow foxes - I expect they've got a tele and sofa down there, the hole is big enough.

Just fill the hole in... providing you're not using concrete I wouldn'y worry - they'll dig their way out if they are in and in if they are out!  :blink: If you see what I mean 

If only I could encourage my almost-resident foxes to dig over my half-plot it'd be great. There's boulders of clay waiting to be jumped about on but the blighters wont go near it.
