I've been having a real problem with a fox that's been digging a hole in my flower garden for the past two weeks. It looks like the fox not only pees in the area but then starts digging. I'm really worried because it's ruining my flowers! Can anyone share some advice on how to stop this behavior?

Ugh, I feel for you! Foxes can be such a nuisance. I used to have a digging fox that destroyed my plants too. When nothing else worked, I resorted to barriers. It’s best to secure your garden so they can't access it. Just be aware that once they find a spot they like, they might keep coming back. If you can cover the area with something they don’t like digging into, that might help. Also, avoid using fish-based fertilizers since they tend to dig up anything that smells good to them!
For real, using rocks and covering the loose soil can help a lot! Just remember, they’re not trying to wreck your garden out of malice—they're just being wild animals. It can be frustrating to see your plants getting ruined every morning, though! Hang in there!
Exactly! It's tough being in a battle with wildlife, but I keep reminding myself they’re just trying to survive.
I've had the same issue! What worked for me was placing bricks and large stones in the spot where the fox was digging. Any hard material should do the trick to deter them.
And a tip: covering loose soil with bark mulch can make it less tempting for them to dig!
