I bought some bedding plants last week and planted them in pots which I left on the decking. Went away to my mum's for a couple of days and came back today, to find that they'd been dug up and dirt scattered everywhere[:'(].
I've re-potted them again, but in order to deter the foxes from digging them up again, I've sprinkled chilli powder all around the plants. Is this likely to work? My reasoning is that when they start to sniff around the plants they'll get a nose full of chilli powder which will stop them investigating further.
What do you reckon? Will it keep them away?
