How a Mole Can Help Harvest a Great Strawberry Crop: What's the Secret
Summer residents are accustomed to the fact that moles are pests that ruin lawns and garden beds.
Therefore, it is customary to drive them away from areas and install repellents.
But there is no need to rush.
Experienced gardeners know that sometimes these little animals can be useful and save strawberry plantings from pests.
There are insects that feed on strawberry roots. But moles are great at ridding the area of them and do not touch the roots of the plants.
But if you still decide to get rid of moles in your dacha, there are several safe ways.
One of them is to use smells that the animals don't like. For example, you can put pieces of fabric soaked in gasoline, fuel oil, castor oil in mole holes. The animals won't like the smell of coffee grounds, pepper, onion, and garlic either.
You can plant plants whose smell is also unpleasant for the mole. Usually these are daffodils, marigolds, basil, dill, celery.
