I have never seen moles so active as they are this year, I have collected several bags from the side of our lane and river banks,The question is sterilize or not sterilize ?(I have a microwave in the garage)
James, many of the expert Auricula growers of 'yesteryear' would use nothing else. They added plenty of sand and a dollop of dried cow manure and the Auriculas grew like cabbages.
Mark, I'm very sorry to see that you have fallen over. Do you need a hand up? No broken ankles I hope.
The moles have been very active around the village this year, and taking a friend's Jack Russell for a walk last week I reckon he excavated over a hundred mounds within an hour: he returned home triumphant but filthy. We haven't had a mole on its mating search within our garden for about five years now but when it did call it left total destruction in our rough pasture from which we are still trying to recover. I think I shall try some of the soil but I shall not attempt to steralise it - no spare microwave and my wife, gardening enthusiast though she is would be mob-handed on my case. Now to try some auriculas sounds good.
