The mice or rabbits are at it again this year – Autumn 2014

When you think you have solved the problem. You turn your back and you find the mice have been at it again.

The bark is still fresh, so they must have been gnawing away last night. They have got the rootstock and a bit of the scion, just past the graft joint. They have even had a go at an unpruned shoot on the rootstock.

I have spent a few hours today setting my traps up, with some good tasty bait (I hope).
