The badger has visited the garden again. First he circumnavigated the garden and came in at the back breaking a fence panel to get into our garden. We replaced the fence panel, repaired the damage to the grass and had one night without damage. Last night he must have spent the whole night breaking through the wire fence at the front of the garden again but we did not have any damage to the grass. perhaps he had used up all his strength. We have dug two garden forks into the ground where the damage is and hope that he doesn’t break through again. Tomorrow we will repair the fence with some stout wire and I think that we will have to invest in an electric fence. The second thing that we have a problem with in this garden is bindweed. No sooner have I weeded an area and untangled and dug up the bindweed than it has grown again. It is a very difficult weed to deal with and I think patience is needed. If my borders weren’t so full of plants I could use a Glyphosate weed killer but I have too many plants squashed together for that so hand weeding it is. It is always much easier with a glass of wine to hand!
