Don't know why I didn't try this forum first, but I have tried other forums with very few responses, so I am hoping someone here can help. Have had a bad vole problem that we finally solved after four years!! If you are interested in the details, see http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/740278/ . This spring we still started seeing holes and plants dropping suddenly from their roots being eaten, but no voles in our traps. Discovered that we have an insect that is very rare to our area, but since they lay many eggs and can fly, it is only a matter of time before this spreads. Mole crickets! See http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=4957797 and http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/857879/ .
Someone out there in an area where this is more common, must have a solution. We have resorted to planting only a few veggies in our 25x30 garden, in buckets with the drainage holes stuffed with plastic netting, but the pots are too small to produce much of a crop. There must be something we can do to discourage these bugs. Any help will be most welcome!
