Aren't they voles? Last year I had two different kinds, including the species which digs many galleries, but in a low level, and which also comes out on the surface, and attacks the vegetation of cucurbits, tomatoes, and in me too with peppers. I managed to catch them thanks to the pitfall traps.

They do not touch plants, even seedlings. I haven't seen the beasts ...

I cross my fingers but it doesn't seem to be plowed again. If they leave me the melons alone so much the better. Cats may have cleaned up.
An overview of the main potato plantation (to keep). It is developing well!

The tomatoes, everything will be covered by mid July I think

The moment you can see the seedlings above the hay ...

Pickle under tree vs full sun. Victory for the most in the shade, given the weather.

Well, the diggers came back, but we may have found a compromise: I packed the earth to death against the plants, and they made the exits from the galleries just 10cm away. So I stop screwing them up and they stop shooting me with the plants (for now). If it happens it eats slugs or larvae (I don't know) it would be stupid to kill them. The cheese and the grains do not seem to attract them ...

In rodents, only the shrew is really useful to my knowledge. Cranivore. But to my knowledge, it does not do any damage, so little chance that it is that!

I looked on Wiki, they generally eat all that is insects, worms, gastropods etc ...
They must find worms under the hay, it stands.

Thank you. I have always classified them as rodents. By mistake, indeed!
