It sounds like, as mentioned above that rodents are probarbly to blame. But dont ever under-estimate the appetite of slugs and snails.
My courgettes (Zucchini) are still desperately trying to hang onto their leaves. Whole leaves disappear overnight. Tried every humane method i can think of. Even vaseline ( I wont use poisons) I had 2 options left.
Last night i decided the old fashioned method was worth a go. So out i went with a torch after dark and caught me 35 assorted slugs and snails. I'll do the same later tonight. In the meantime, i've heard they like raw porrige oats. They gorge on them, swell up and burst?? i'm not sure about that but i'm giving it a go.
I found 14 of the little bu*&^ers on my rocket patch last night, virtually destroyed it
