Many thanks Margaret, Mona, and Ann for all your suggestions
and experiences. I'm ready to try all of them all over again. Maybe
something will work.
Margaret, we probably don't have Canadian Tire, but if I see a pic,
we can possibly make a similar apparatus. Hubby is very good with
that sort of thing.
Mona, we even tried the grub killer as the last resort. Didn't want to
do that, but it didn't make any difference. We have more moles than
ever, and I noticed while digging in soil, we have plenty of earthworms,
just as usual.
Ann, the mouse bait is what we have been doing recently. Need to
be more persistent. I also was concerned about putting chemicals in
the soil. Good to know what you found out about that. Our veggie
garden is far away from flowering plants. It is the only organic food
that I can be certain of, and why we grow our own. I continue to can beans
and tomatoes, also freeze some veggies, and dry fruits and herbs, and make
jams.
