(Large amopunt snipped for brevity)

Although my garden is used by cats (including my own) and foxes, it is
the fox's poo that is the most dificult to deal with. It is deposited
openly where one can't avoid finding it, often in the middle of a plant
where it can't easily be cleaned up. Spider

The fox has shown you the way to solve your problem. Place something
prominent like a large log or boulder for him to crap on. He is marking
his territory by so doing, and you can then easily remove the mess and
keep your plants safe from his antics.

Thanks, Bill. It sounds like good behavioural training, doesn't it? Alas,
I've got umpteen things around my garden which foxy might use, but s/he
seems to prefer plants - especially new plants ... and, no, I'm not going to
stop putting plants in the garden just to curtail (heh heh) foxy's
inappropriate toiletting:~).
