Foxes

[valentinelow]

A veg-growing friend is having trouble with foxes - digging up his carrots, pooing everywhere, generally being a nuisance. Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to discourage them?
(and no, there isn't a local hunt...)

I've just used barriers on my raised beds, metal mesh has stopped them digging up my onions/garlic/shallots, but they poo on it contempt!

I'm planning to cover most beds with either fleece, mesh or netting depending on the crop; my long rows where potatoes will be, I don't know what might put them off? some of that composted lion poo? ???

I'm sure someone on here said male urine will stop them, know any males deb ?   :)

My OH might be OK with the odd discreet widdle in the compost heap, but I'm not sure he's exhibitionist enough to cover the whole lottie!! ;D ;D

Or he could just use a watering can I suppose ;).....

I've never had too much trouble with them Deb...
but have been known to wee on the plot!
