Moles, Voles or the like
|
From: Al Wootten <awootten at NRAO.EDU> on 1997.05.19 at 18:35:17(758)
I planted the Alocasia macrorrhizos I received from Tony Avent this weekend,
and then proceeded to cozy away the new Bletilla I also received from him.
I thought it curious that none of my plants had appeared yet, so I excavated
the topsoil from the bed. I discovered many little holes throughout, and
no sign at all of my old Bletillae! There have been some mole problems; my
neighbor planted castor beans about to no visible effect. Another neighbor
used electric thingies in the soil, again with no visible effect. I am
toying with the idea of planting them in a wire cage
with half-inch or smaller openings. Are there other ideas?
Clear skies,
Al
