[Middle Eastern Gardener]

Hello,

I’d be really interested to hear from anyone who also has critters digging tunnels under the veg patches.  We practice the no dig method, and I am really happy to have all of our critters.  But.  They are digging tunnels which make my small plants either sink and disappear, or get chomped off at ground level.  I am now watering each plant carefully but very hard to try to force any holes to appear and I can repair it immediately rather than getting surprised.  Anyone got any ideas as to how to better manage my critters please ?.  Very much looking forward to hearing your experiences..

If it was on my allotment I'd blame the moles.

I have similar problems due to voles. The latest thing that they have become partial to are my sunflower seedlings..

If you can see the tunnels and no hills then mice would be my guess. Look for the start point and poison them. Or try traps. If traps in the open cover them or they will rust and not work.

If using traps be careful that you don't trap any birds or unintended prey.
