Give this a try go and purchase a few boxes of Mothballs. Dig holes around your Garden and the inside area where there isnt a Plant dig about 1/2 inch holes. Drop in a Mothball in each hole. This works great also for Woodchucks that have a hole where you dont want them to reside.

Are you sure it is the foxes digging holes in your garden. Have you seen them do this... I have never heard of this problem and suspect it some other animal such as a mole or a badger.You are very lucky to have them choose your garden. There are electronic devices that scare them off. Cats make more trouble then any wild creature. .

Most men I know would not mind Foxes digging in their yard. Make a deal with them to take off their tops and they can dig all they want!
Better yet, give them a hose and open a car wash!! They might stop digging and youll make so much money you can afford new sod!

Fill empty plastic lemonade/coke bottles with water and place around the garden. Foxes do not light the reflection from the water at night

Try a solution of Jeyes fluid watered on the dug up bits. This stuff also works to a certain extent on moles if you can scrape away the molehill and find the entry and exit runs, pour a bucket full of solution down them and put the excavated soil back down the tunnels.

You are so lucky to have foxes in your garden! I love them. You might however, put some netting over your newly planted seeds, as they would not want their paws to get caught in it. Cats do not like this either. It is harmless to the animals, yet discourages them from sticking around to do damage.

Try Jo F solution, a neighbour of mine swears by it.
This time of year the little darlings hide any surplus of food by burying it, perhaps that is what they are doing. My local vixen has just eaten two bunches of grapes that I have been nursing.. talk about sour grapes!!
