Hi,
We went to water the vegetables growing on our allotment this morning after a few days away only to find that most of them had been eaten.
Most noticeably were the leeks, which were growing quite quickly when we planted them a few days ago. They've all been chopped off and look a lot smaller than before.
Fortunately the leeks aren't dead, they're just a bit shorter than they were before, so we should be able to still grow them. However, we're not sure how to protect them from whatever is eating them.
We have been looking at what other people have been doing to protect theirs, which appears to be everything from nothing to putting up a fence completely around their plot.
I think it could be voles that are living in a dirt wall left behind by the previous tenant.
Has anyone got any reasonably cheap solutions that have worked for them? There's no such thing as a bad idea!
