The strain of Striped Roman they have at Underwood Gardens is unique.
Gophers.
The most effective way is to hire an agricultural service to pump flamable gas down all the holes in the neighborhood and ignite it, then you and your neighbors put strychnine down any new holes (sorry).
The alternative is to build an 18 inch high raised bed about 3 feet wide and with 3 feet of length for every tomato or equivalent plant. Line the bottom and the sides with 1/2 inch metal chicken wire so that the mesh extends 2 feet out of the ground all the way around to become a fence. |
Dont' be sorry, hell I wanted to get a BB gun and wait for them to pop their heads out and take their little heads off. >.> But I'm on five acres, and we have animals that do hunt and eat them. It's a bigger problem because the guy across the street has only horses and they seem to be breeding the varmints. I've thought about doing the raised bed. My time is running out to figure out what I'm going to do. I'm tempted just to do all my veggies in barrels, and make a meshing for when I plant my bananas in ground. Also thanks for the links, I will look into those romas they sound awesome. And lastly Bence I'll be looking for your msg.
