Q.Moles/Gophers
We live in a place where we have sandy loam soil. The moles and gophers are a problem, but in the past we’ve been able to control them. This year (we assume a mole) has tunneled into the garden and completely eaten two of our tomato plants from the root up. Nothing else could have done this because I had built a screen wire cage completely enclosed, including the top. Can you tell me what I could use in the garden area to repel these moles?
