It seems the allotment foxes have decided to dig a burrow on my plot, and my whole plot smells of fox wee. People wouldn't want to eat where dogs from had been toileting and I imagine the same risks come from foxes. Is there anything I can do to persuade them to move elsewhere?

Sprinkle your plot with manwee (from a meat eating male) or curry powder. We suffer the same problem, particularly if we haven't been about for a few days.Location ... Nottingham -
Why don't you borrow a couple of fox hounds from the local huntsman, I'm sure they are quite bored by now having to chase a man instead. Tie them up to a post and leave 'em overnight a couple of times and I'm sure the foxes will get the message.

One thing I think hasn't been mentioned, and it's just a thought....do you use fish blood and bone or chicken pellet products?... cos they may smell inviting to a fox?"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Thanks for the replies, seems things are worse than I thought. With it being a council allotment I would imagine I will need permission from them to do anything, will contact them and see what they say.Comment
