Garden Maintenance: Moles in my garden

Garden Maintenance: Moles in my garden

The little creatures that don’t bring a smile to our faces, rather a grimace.  These little miners have got a bad rap, are misunderstood, and mostly falsely accused.  The little tunnels just under the surface of the soil, usually criss crossing our beautiful lawns, are the golden mole, and the heaps of dirt scattered all over the lawn is the mole rat. Believe it or not they have an important job to do, they airate the soil and eat insects.
