Question from a newby
The message
from Charlie Pridham contains these words: Not having moles here, but is it possible to put barriers around? or do they have to go too deep? I buried corrugated iron and wire netting round a greenhouse, to a depth of two feet. Within a couple of months they'd undermined all my tomatoes and cucumbers. Got a pair with moletraps, and another couple later with a 12-bore, as they were making molehills. I had thought that there was too much fuss made about moles on this newsgroup until I visited my cousin up near Cambridge, they can not safely walk across their garden its so undermined! Yup. I had to keep my land clear of them for fear of the bullock breaking a leg. The goats - er - took them in their stride... I understand its a bit of a compliment to have moles as it means lots of worms and good healthy soil :~) Likewise nettles. Aren't compliments fun? -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
