and much more.Badgers

Personally I find badgers to be pretty awesome. These animals have a reputation for being aggressive of which they can be when provoked. But they are really a problem in the vegetable garden where they can eat our homegrown food.I have had the problem of dealing with badgers in the past and I found the best method was to restrict their access to your plants. A fence or barrier of some kind is best. However there are other methods but non of these I have tried as the barrier method has been successful for me. You can hear me discuss this in this podcast.
