Allotments 4 All

A toad has taken to digging a hole for itself every evening outside my back door, in a different plant pot each night. It only chooses small pots with young plants in Grrrr. I left it a pot of soil and a pot of water. It has turned its warty back on these.

The clematis plants seem unperturbed luckily.

What about covering the plants with some small stones like gravel will it ignore these?

I don't know - if it keeps on I'll have to try it. It went in a big tomato tub last night so that was ok - plenty of room. I was a bit worried as I had potted on leek and PSB seedlings and I thought a big fat toad bum could wreck a few of them!
