thinking about it... I guess this is something like a badger digging
for grubs?? Covers quite a bit of lawn and varying sizes, some up to a fist in size. |

The message
from niavasha contains these words: Any ideas what has caused the damage to the lawn below ? http://illogik.net/lawn1.jpg http://illogik.net/lawn2.jpg Appeared over night... Animal digging for worms. Fox or badger could be the culprit. -- Roger Chapman Nearest Marilyn still to be visited - Great Orme. 89 miles as the crow flies, considerably more as the walker drives. |

In my last house, which was suburban London, it was foxes - it got so bad we lost a 30 foot patch - almost totaly stripped. I ended up putting an electric fence round the lawn for a few weeks and solved the problem. Electric fence now very useful containing the weaners I'll be fattening now wer'e out in the country !!!!

Badgers, and almost impossible to keep out of the garden Chainlink fencing works, with the bottom 30cm turned outwards and buried Feeding the buggers also works apparently, but you have to stuff them full every night so they can't be assed to dig for worms. - |

I'm replying to a reply because I can't find the original message (and I
have no idea why) but that ruined lawn looks to me like the work of wild boar. No guff. Any in your neighbourhood, Niavasha?? "The Natural Philosopher" wrote in message ...
