Re: Moles

**"Peter Loewer" t*@earthlink.net**

I give up! Rather than try and understand nature, moles, and gardens, you
people persist in finding repellents. Sometimes there are people out there
who know something from experience and try to pass it on. The Web? The Web
is like the bell-shaped curve: 10% genius, 10% pure disaster, and the rest
in between. If I said that dragonfiles only lived for a day would you
believe it? Well a number of Websites did because one site mixed
dragonfliles with Mayflies. MOLES ARE CARNIVORES. I have a degree in
biology, in adition to a fine arts degree and know what I'm talking about.
So go out and kill the creatures. Their tunnels are easily pushed back and
when you do, sow a bit of grass seed. THEY ONLY USE THE TUNNELS ONCE! Sorry
for being upset but does anybody read anymore? A very disappointed Peter
