This is what I was talking about in the last post. This section of planting is 90% dead. The Crispii is girdled. A full six inches at the base of the trunk is eaten. The cotoneaster (the brown-but-supposed-to-be-green groundcover) is also largely girdled, and the big grass (a couple of tufts) was eaten at the ground. aargh. Voles must die. Or at least go away to be eaten by raptors and foxes. jc
