what can I do?

I have thought of covering the flower beds with netting but
don't know
what type to use. Road bed mattress would allow the plants to
grow
through. And so would barbed wire.

Any suggestions?

It's not even my garden I am guerrilla-ing it. I have something
like a
tenth of a mile to look after so it could get expensive.

Road mattress (or whatever it is called -a fence lattice of
something
like 4 inch squares used to reinforce roads) would just lay on
or in
the soil and last a few years -long enough to establish thorny
bushes.
Barbed wire would have to be supported off the ground.

Removing either for working on them could be a problem.

Hmm...

Posted to UK.sci.weather after a glitch with Google and posting
limits,
forced me to sign out then back in with the gmail account.
Something
tells me that some programmer at Google isn't up to scratch.

Which is more than I can say for my bloody foxes.

Sorry about that -too.

Used to be able to buy stuff called 'Renardine'. Bloody foul smell.
I
dont know what it did to the foxes but it ****ed me off. Probably
banned now like lots of useful chemicals.


Renardine was banned relatively recently under big brother EU
legislation and it seems that there is nothing equally effective.
