Three Badgers - Ma & Pa & Boy Badger

This Badger family, at least Ma & Pa have been visiting since 2022. They seem to spend pretty much the whole night between my back garden and my front garden. It is a safe route where they come from the woods at the back of me and along my dead-end road for about half a dozen houses and into my garden. I am glad they don't go any further afield because there are busy roads at the very far end of my road where the traffic speeds. 

They eat the worms, the snails, and slugs, and mice, and the bigger version of a mouse...

They eat all my berries, that are edible to me, and berries that are not edible to me. 

They wreck my vegetable gardens, but they leave the herbs alone. My tree kale and tree cabbage they leave alone because I barricaded them in with a fireguard, but now, a few years later, the tree kale is over 10 foot tall, and is well established, and still growing taller...it is difficult to pick off the leaves now. Even though the cabbage white butterflies caterpillars completely decimated all the leaves this summer stripping it back to just a tree trunk, it is literally growing back beautifully now. 

I am still racking my brains how to make some high raised beds for salads and stuff, and what could I utilize.... without spending a fortune or anything (!)... I had a bit of an idea last night.... And I do have another very long metal fire guard which would be of some help...

There were some noises outside last night, and I assume it was the Badger but my cochlear sound processor makes it sound like the noises are actually in my bedroom, and I panicked for a bit thinking something had got into my bedroom, but I closed the window and the noise was less so it was outside.
