Trouble when you have good healthy soil with tons of worms.........The moles follow. We have so many moles I've often considered a "Bill Murray Caddy Shack" approach. Believe me it has been suggested on more than one occasion by folks else where. Because of them, we can't grow anything remotely edible. Shame, the soil is so loaded with organic matter from the years of perennial gardens that it would be a great soil to grow vegetables in. Have the perfect spot all picked out too.

There was a neat thing that happened the other day. Brought back memories of looking for nigh-crawler for fishing. I was (and when I say that I mean We were) cleaning the patio furniture from the winter grime and mildew. Used a light bleach solution. You wouldn't believe the worms that came up in the runoff trail. Coulda opened a stand and sold'em by the pound. We always used a light bleach/water solution to get the worms to surface.
