The pests have returned
«

My pests came back this time they managed to destroy one of my polytunnels, and trample the strawberries.
I have just finished rigging trip wires between the raised beds, it might annoy them and I expect the will take their revenge but at least I'll have got mud on their designer label jeans!!
Photo's of the damage at

And I though having an allotment would be relaxing, and rewarding, so far it's been expensive and disappointing.
Ho hum!!

They do tend to get bored with it.... only if they are stealing power tools will they keep coming back at abouit a months interval to take the replacements!

That reminds me of the recent damage to a polytunnel belonging to a neighbour. That appears to have been deliberately targeted at plots involved in a dispute a couple of years back.

Hold Hard Plot!
I think Manic could have a point - and i hope he has, rather than some sh*tbags!
Wind damage? You have a wonderful & well organised plot.
Report back.
