Mole in my veg bed
in Fruit & veg
Hi all,
Ive just been outside tending to my seedling in the beds and noticed the soil moving! I can see a mole tunneling around the veg bed.
Is this an issue? Will he eat my veg? At the moment the soil disturbance is toppling my tiny carrots and leeks.

I do this in my flower borders to give them a big hint to move elsewhere.
Surprisingly, it really does work

What is he after? Its only a standard sized veg bed. He's got a 1 acre field adjacent that he can frollick about in!!
Perhaps Ill read him some of my poetry - thats always worked as a repellent before!
