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.

Put LOTS of BF&B in a demilitarised zone to act as a distraction?

(Who has a derelict garden next door with at least a half dozen kits
running wild morning, noon and night. I can deal with the dog toys,
chewed balls, gloves, shoes etc. but the nappies are another matter.
The neighbours are clearly slobs. The holes in the lawn are an issue
and the c*nts have tunnelled into places that they should not be. Lead
poisoning in high vellocity .22 calibre is probably the only, but
temporary answer)

Cats do not tunnel, you have a mole.
