Hi Everyone, I've just recently started helping my dad at his allotment & have noticed something has been burrowing into the raised plots & have been eating the strawberrys.
The plot is netted off aswel, any ideas what it could be & how to stop it burrowing into the plots.
Love reading all the threads on this board. :)

    Probably rabbits.

    But are we talking a 1 inch burrow, or a 12 inch?

    You could fit a cat inside it, I'd say.

    Never seen a cat at our allotments before, my dad was thinking rabbits, but I think rats. I hope it's not rats.:(

    OK OK, I'll stop playing with you, it's not rats, it's rabbits, bet the farm on it. :D
