We used to have a fox that used to sleep in our garden in St.Albans. He/she had a nice pile of pine needles in the sun, and it used to snooze their quite happily. I loved to watch it. If we had a rabbit though - different story. Don't they make a real mess?

I tried leaving out food, it didn't work he just came back to the same spot (right next to my bougainvillea) and dig huge holes. I had to remove the bougainvillea as it got damaged by the little.....so and so.......
I know he must be coming back to the scent he left their the previous time so I am thinking of pouring some vinegar over the area...however I do want to use the space that he has no taken over, how long do I have to wait for the vinegar to work out before I can plant other plants their?

*Ahem* How to say this and be a little bit discreet...
Human urine will work much better at deterring the fox than vinegar. Apply regularly and your 'scent marking' will keep him away (assuming this is a fox and it is behaving as foxes are meant to behave...).

He will probably thank you - given how hard most women have to work to keep their guys from unzipping just anywhere, giving him a patch in the garden will be like Valhalla come early!

He didn't think I was serious at first, but after a half hour of convincing him he did, two nights in a row!
I am going back to sa for a while he better keep it up!
