Has anyone got any suggestions for preventing foxes (or any other animal
for that matter) digging up plants which have had bonemeal added to their
planting holes.
I planted 10 photinia on Friday in order to grow a small hedge and added
bonemeal to the planting holes as recommended. I came home from work
today to find every plant had been clawed at and some had been ripped out
of the soil completely. It's a sorry sight. I have tried to replace the
plants but I fear some may have been damaged beyond repair.
Only lead in their ear, I'm afraid. Bonemeal attracts them, and being a
poultry keeper I've had far too many problems with foxes to be sympathetic
to them any more.
