Who's eating my potatoes
This year a lot of my potatoes have been eaten much more than the usual
slug holes, up to 3/4 of the tuber is gone. Now this year I have been infested by voles, they have "done for" all my caulies, and a lot of cabbages, do they eat spuds as well (while in the ground). TIA -- Please reply to the Newsgroup. All emails sent to this address are automatically deleted. |

Ah, you have obviously been spraying and killed the voles natural predators. -- Tumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com ******** How do you spray Hawks and Kites?, Do you squirt them during the hover or when they stoop?. (....Only pulling your leg!,- for a joke!.) As boys, my brother and I used to dig them (voles) out and sell them to school pals at a tanner apiece. Unfortunately they always promptly perished and we learned soon the first rule when opening a possibly lucrative business. Don't sell to a lad if he is bigger than you!. BTW. Any idea what are the natural predators of voles?. I pass. Doug. ******** |

The message
from "Douglas" contains these words: BTW. Any idea what are the natural predators of voles?. I pass. Doug. We live in the country and our cat is a wonder at catching (and eating) rabbits and other rodents. Together with a feral cat, who lives in a shed nearby, they keep rodent populations to a manageable level. Buzzards and owls also add to the army of predators and pleasure of the garden. -- Cheers, Compo |
