I still haven't managed to exclude the foxes from the garden, so today I completed my spud cage.
This morning I saw a fox enter one side of the garden and eventually leave on the other. The entry point was where last autumn my neighbour leaned into my garden and removed a branch from one of my bushes (evidently it displeased him greatly for some reason - I know by law he can remove any branches overhanging into his garden, but he took off about 3 feet inside my property), thus giving the foxes a clear jump over the fence at that point. Tchah!
Will have to try to stop the foxes with strategically-placed garden canes.
