I laid some turf in the garden recently, but the bloody badgers keep digging it up!! 

Doe's anyone have any tips to stop the buggers!!    I think I've heard that peeing on the grass discourages them, but I think my pee would kill the grass!! 

Any ideas??

A few ideas but not many work such as dangling diesel or creasote soaked rags from sticks to the badgers entrance or permanently stopping them using a electric fence . Read that they are after the grubs so its though you could feed them to stop that  i think that would encourage a whole circus of badgers

Do like our UK neighbours used to do.....put out a cooked chicken dinner every night.

More seriously, can you stop their entry route to your garden? If not then the answer is to provide more tempting food somewhere else till the lawn gets established methinks.

[Grrrrrr]

Unfortunately, wire fence dug down far enough that they give up trying to tunnel under it is the only humane way I know of.

Would the PIR-activated ultrasonic deterrents be effective against badgers?

I've had one in my garden (ultrasonic unit, not a badger) for quite some time now and have not had any recurrence of cat and fox nuisance.

Very good I use one for the chickens to keep both foxes and badgers at bay but never seen them actually detered  before, mind you the labs keep well away

Go take a piss or 3 where they are coming in to your garden.....it does work but only male pee will do
