The blighters are running amok. They live in sets on the adjoining
railway embankment and sneak into my garden from dusk onwards. I've
grown lots of plants from seed and they have tramped all over them as
well as burrowing close to my dahlias and uprooting the tubers..
Several of them have been ruined. Does anyone have any humane
deterrents to keep them away from my plant beds ?

Thanks

How about putting up some secondary fence within you existing bounday fence
then leaving food of some sort in the no-man's land for them. If they are
satisfied with that they might not trespass further.
