Badge damage! Hello everyone, my snow drop and daffodil bulbs have been dug up by badgers and the shooting tips eaten. Will they recover and flower next spring? Any tips how to stop them, they are very determined!
Thank you!

If they have eaten the growing points I'd be surprised if they grow. You can deter badgers by sprinkling chilli pepper around where they go . Its only a temporary solution as badgers go where they have always gone, but it works for a while. I hate doing it but sometimes its them or us.
