We have decided on the path of least resistence having tried to block the hole just before the New year and then having a scary encounter, for me and the badger, on New Years Eve!!
People have said put peanuts, bananas etc out for badgers but I wondered if that would just encourage them into the garden more rather than discourage it from eating my tulips.
Have decided that all the tulips that are left will be dug up after flowering and removed in the hope of protecting the other plants from the tulip craved badger. Then I will restrict my tulips to pots which I can protect in the garage over winter
The cold isnt helping as a fox has just trotted past the living room window in the middle of the day, they must be struggling to find food
