Wasteland? In London? Build flats on it.
I don't think there's anything you can do about the foxes--if you kill them, another lot will move in sharpish. I suppose WillMelling is the resident expert on foxes in the back garden, but I don't know if he's ever felt they're a problem to be managed.
There may be certain plants they may find more attractive than others. I don't know why they dig up the lawn, but there may well be something under it that they want to get at, so it might be worth investigating what that could be.

So we have a family of foxes in the wasteland behind our garden. This year there's mum and 5 kids. Which is nice except for the fact that they dig holes in the lawn, dig up plants ( one lavender eviscerated and a hosta literally disappeared) . Anyone got any advice (short of killing them or getting rid of their habitat) on how to stop them digging up my garden or is this an unfortunate situation that I have to live with?
