I don't know about gophers, but moles do not eat plants. Moles eat bugs and
earthworms. They harm plants, though, in two ways: (1) they tunnel under
them leaving the roots exposed to air in the tunnels and the roots die and
(2) their tunnels are also used by voles and I suppose other rodents who WILL
eat the plant roots. I try to disturb their tunnels and firm plants back
into contact with soil. Since I live in the middle of the woods, there is no
practical way to get rid of all moles.
