I am a teacher. We have a garden at the school. Actually, we are GOING to have a garden, as past attempts pretty much failed because no one watered in the summer. Anyway, I hope to change that this year. The only concern is that, about 10 feet from the proposed garden, there is a huge hole in the ground. It is about a foot wide and goes down into darkness. It is behind some bushes and goes right down alongside the school. I have no clue what lives down there. I have never seen anything, but once I threw some branches over it and came back a few months later and noticed they were gone.

ground hog?

fox?.....Do foxes live in holes like that?

My initial thought was ground hog, but I have never seen one in that area. The ground hog by my house is always scampering around.
