Well what I meant was, I had sweet potatoes in two spots 10 yards apart. The 20 ft raised bed (were fine) and the old in ground garden (were demolished). In the old garden, the voles also ate out some turnips and nice big beets. I won't be growing anymore root crops in that garden. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and pole beans seem to work best there. Bush beans get eaten up as well.
I didn't really learn about voles until the last few years, growing root crops. But I have seen them now multiple times both here at the house and over at the comm garden. They are bigger than mice, but surprisingly quick and hard to stomp on!
