    This has been a problem for other members too.
    I would suggest hiding your spade so they can't use it :D
    Or..applying Human Male urine in their fav' digging places.

    I was going to suggest the lion dung that you can buy for cat repellent but Paladin's idea is much simpler- as long as you have a compliant male around!

    It has been known that if you put human hair in say a nylon stocking at various intervals on the fence this will deter the foxes [​IMG] [​IMG]
