So help me out people, what should I be doing right now to help me later? |

| I am still searching on the web to find out how to get rid of voles.They ate a lot of my plants last year and I was so upset watching them disapear. I am getting a tiller this year and redoing all my beds.Hoping that will help with the voles. I like the one from Home Depot with an edger attchment. Searching new plants and figuring where and how to plant them.
Thinking of redesigning my beds due to amount of sun change. I am using a program that I have where I can take a picture of my yard and insert different plants and trees. Checking out mail order sites. Not that I will order this year.
I guess you could say I am just day dreaming right now. Marie,

| Marie, I can help with the vole problem. There's a guy who goes by the name Mole Man who has a critter erradication business, give him a call because he can help you out with your critter problem. He's a member of the union I belong to and I've worked with him on jobs, so I can recomend him to you with confidence. Here's his phone number: THE MOLE MAN (856) 435-5165 I have a Honda Harmony tiller and it works great. I've had it for about 7 years now and it still starts on the first few pulls. It also has 4 attachments (that you buy). |

| Oh thanks. I will give him a call. The tiller I am looking at is called the EarthQuake. Not to big for me but better than digging with a shovel now that I am getting older. I did decide to order again this year from a place that I go nice size plants form last year. I am getting a small japinese maple, gallardia fanfare, lantana patio tree, carpet roses's, knock out roses, 2 more clemitis and 10 Day lillies.
I hope the voles don't eat these....lol. |
