Asparagus bedfellows
We're looking forward to next year's asparagus. The bed (raised) will
have been in place 5 years and we should get a decent crop. Except .... yesterday I spotted a hole in the soil. Then another. Soon I realised the bed is like a piece of Ementhal! I set an experimental trap (don't worry .... it was a Longworth type) and this morning got what I expected - a wood mouse. I'm loath to trap them all and try and clear them, preferring the owls do the work. I hope the cats stay away as they are a real pain. The question is ... do wood mice eat the roots, nascent shoots of asparagus or generally do damage. I suspect the answer is "Yes!" in which case there is a problem. But advice would be welcome. Thanks. -- Gopher .... I know my place! |
