I am growing scads or dwarf monkey grass in the shade, under a tree where grass won't grow. It is soft, easy, no mowing and evergreen. A mole tunneled under one area 2 summers ago and I am STILL having trouble getting it to grow in the bare spots the mole made! Other places it is lush and soft but that tunneled area is barren. I have added topsoil, and Scott's Moisture Control dressing of sorts. NO help. It just dissappears. Hints? Suggestions?

Looks like this:
