Potatoes and mice/voles
I wondered whether anyone else has problems with mice or voles attacking
potatoes. When lifting my maincrop this weekend I've found patches where many of the potatoes are part-gnawed or in some cases eaten away almost just to a shell. I'm assuming mice are to blame - in some cases you can see their teeth marks! Just odd patches with some varieties but they seem to have a particular liking for Verity - unless they just happened to be planted near their homebase. I'm intrigued because I haven't heard mice cited as a significant pest of potatoes but for me this year they have been much more of a problem than slugs. Janet G |
