Default Newbie: Just received an allotment garden

Following up to Judy Rigby

How does one protect a carrot from foxes, and what do the foxes do to
them ? I'm presuming dig them up ...

... but being as my carrots are coming up nicely, and I've just finished
scraping foxshit off the bottom of my shoe after spending some time in
my vegetable patch, I think this is something I need to know ...


everything was OK until I started to harvest, they got the scent(?)
and started digging them up, chewing tops off. I put wire netting over
them which expensivly solved the problem.
