Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply, even if it seems an impossible task.
Our allotment site is large, 42 plots, and the council have put 8ft chain link fencing and padlocked gates. The badgers just tunnel underneath, every time we find a hole we block it with corrugated metal sheets, but they just tunnel elsewhere.
This year has been a really bad one for veg, drought stressed plants get more pests, and I am unable to get one site everyday, but us gardeners are optimistic beings, so I am already planning for next year with a fortified plot. I’m thinking Norman castle meets Colditz.😉
