I've been lurking for a bit, but now I've got a question to ask please.
Morning, Kathy.
My friend and I took on an allotment in November. We have started clearing
it, but have been invaded by moles! Any ideas on non-harmful ways of
discouraging them? We've asked them nicely to go and burrow through the
bits we haven't dug yet but they wont play.
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but (as a onetime molecatcher) I know of no
way of discouraging them other than to trap them.
*UNLESS* you know someone who keeps ferrets.
Make a strong infusion of cleanings from the hutch, and liberally water
round the plot with it.
My uncle Bert used to ram a tube down into their burrow, drop some
carbide down it, then pour water in.
I don't know how effective it was...
