Having dreadful mouce vole problems having grown my seeds in a plastic box sealed at night I had beautiful broard beans plants & was believed that they won’t touch the bean once chitted peas too BUT not so my friends after a few days I am down to 50% loss & trying to stay positive & the traps have regrettably come out hopefully not too late . I have tried catmint & longfolia mint but I didn’t have any luck in the winter.. pepper however does work if you can keep applying but like slug pelletsit gets expensive . I also don’t want to kill everything & cause a void in the natural balance . The mice also had a go at a few of the onions after chitting but I think only as there were a few seeds not germinated . I think they have had a bad spring too but is very demoralizing.
