I may have to invest in garlic if it deters rodents. I was weeding at my friend's the other day to the sound of something (100-1 on a rat) munching loudly, probably on the nearby carrots. There are large holes (1-2 inches) in various places in the soil, and some of them must have tunnelled under the peas earlier as a few patches of plants died, and when I pulled the row out there was a lot of very loose soil.
Rats are inevitable on farms and near stables so I don't think I will get rid, but deterring would be great!A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy

Seems like rodents are the likely culprits then. So far I've been pretty lucky. I know there are plenty of mice, shrews and voles around as we've often seen and heard them. We have a hazel growing near one side of our veg patch and just this morning I could hear gnawing coming from a pile of cut twigs underneath it. Think they are starting to stockpile the nuts. I have noticed a couple of courgettes in that area munched in the last few days in a way that suggests rodents. But to be honest that's been about all over 2 years, so I suppose I should just accept a bit of damage now and then!
We don't have a cat, but luckily our next-door neighbour has 2 good hunters who virtually live in our garden, so maybe that's why I've gotten away with it until now!
