If you install a Fairy Door on the fence or a tree the Fairies will come and sort them out for you.

Do you ever plant hetbs, GrandmaMaples? I've heard on the grapevine they're not keen on sage or rosemary because they're too pungent (and they have long memories, in the past, traditionally, they have been used to cast spells on them).

They’re everywhere! They arrive with fishing rods and wheelbarrows ready to plunder the garden, even on the darkest night too as some carry lanterns.
New metal garden fences are the only deterrent that works.

Indeed - and they contact each other by social media when something particularly delicious appears. I have experience of this.

You can't fight gnomes- coming here in their little boats-they are taking over everywhere...

This is my first post on this website, so hopefully this works. I am looking for some advice. Little gnome people keep crawling through the holes in my fences and gnawing at my daisies and pumpkins. No one believes me when I tell them, they think it's foxes, but I know those sneaky little buggers all too well, they're definitely up to something and I have to find out what, but no one I know will help me, so I came here in the case that someone has had a similar experience? Please share any solutions if so.
