Maybe a very liberal sprinkling of white peper powder every now and then will deter the little rascal

I'm thinking Bandicoot? A bloody big one, at that. The boards have been forced apart in places. A witty friend suggested it may be a Bobcat.

Rats. We had the same result from growing sweet potato. The buggers dug under the tubers and ate them from underneath. We had a bumper crop and most of them got nibbled or completely eaten. Because of the way they dug under, we weren't aware of the damage until it was almost too late to salvage anything.

My guess is rats as well.
Bandicoots eat insects,and at times plants,and fruit.When they dig they made a small inverted pyramid type hole,if that makes any sense.

OK. The culprits have been identified. Our resident Brush Turkeys have taken a liking to the 'taties. That explains the rather large excavation.
