The Fox

Hi
Any ideas on keeping a fox from my plot?

I am having to cover any thing i plant even my onions, which are doing well but when i came the other day they had been laid & rolled on.
Or sometimes it digs the barked paths.

The fox also has cubs.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Do you live near a zoo. Ive heard that lion poo is effective. If there isnt a zoo some garden centres sell it. Perhaps you could "scent"the area with your own wee in a watering can. :roll:

Hi i have used Jeyes fluid watered down around the borders of the plot.
Seems to work to a degree as they hate the smell.

ive been told by an old farmer that if you pee around your patch this will deter most animals, they smell humans so danger . Or there again he could be pulling my leg but its worth a try but don,t get caught ha ha could be done for exposure

well pee has many uses not least as a good compost heap activator - keep a old 4ltr water bottle at home and fill this, yes sounds gross but fine..... take it down the lottie and use either on the heap or water it around a bit - it def keeps off the odd fox....
