This is the first year I've had moles or gophers in any of my beds. We are going through a period of extreme drought and it seems like these critters are following the water. I have the only garden in my neighborhood that gets regularly watered because I grow a lot of roses.
So far, I haven't even come close to managing the problem. I've been told I have to dig up every rose and put them in gopher cages or risk losing the roses. The cost of the hardware cloth required for the gopher cages and the fact that I am living and working in an older body makes the very thought of doing all of that work seem totally overwhelming.
