Vince could you possibly get hold of some barbed wire and lay that on the bottom of the trenches, might help deter anything digging down

it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Just digging trenches might be good disturbance. Rats don't like change. The other thing you could do would be put up fake birds of prey nearby. That would make them cautious too.
Barbed wire is useful, but buried, it's a bit of a booby trap for anyone coming along later who doesn't know it's there. I speak as someone who came across a vast amount of buried broken glass.Comment

The barbed wire is a good idea, but I wouldn't want my successor on the plot to hurt themselves when finding it.
I am planning to fill most of the trench with coarse drainage stone as rats will injure themselves if they try and burrow through that. There is a big bay of the stuff at the lottie for road/track repairs so they wont miss a barrow load or three.Are y'oroight booy?Comment

The new polytunnel cover arrived today, and I built the fence that is going in the trench. Few jobs to do at home tomorrow morning, but Thursday I hope to complete the trench all around the tunnel frame with a view to erecting/burying the fence at the weekend.
I do actually have proper lottie jobs to do at the weekend too: plant my first earlies, plant out young broad bean plants, sow peas, parsnips and carrots....Are y'oroight booy?Comment
