Onions under attack
« on: December 19, 2016, 08:22 »
Never had this before but something is pulling up my onions and eating some of them. Every time I go over the allotment there are 4 or 5 been attacked. They are completely covered by mesh so its not birds, I can only assume I have very hungry mice, anyone else had this?

Not heard of this before but if, as you say, it can't be birds, I'd think rats perhaps?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

It is almost certainly mice. I believe that birds are often blamed for pulling onions out when mice are the culprits.
