Herrrmmm...no more gophers as of yet.
The old man and I set our new Victor mole trap up yesterday...it's a hair-trigger one and hard to set. But it looks promising. This model sits on top of the tunnel, rather than inside it. We also set The Black Hole one in a different place.
That "Once" fertilizer, really does work. It's pretty dramatic--I put it on our flowering plants--different kinds of roses, camellias, jasmine, plus potted flowers--petunias, impatiens, geraniums, marigolds, verbena, alyssum--they all look much healthier, the foliage is greener and more lush. I can't say whether there are more flowers--but the flowers themselves are nice and healthy. Definitely worth it.
I used up half the box (figuring I'd use the other half six months from now) so I used a different fertilizer...Osmocote...on other plants back there, such as the irises and lilies...and also on our indoor trees. Hm. They look good also, but the change is not as dramatic as of yet.
I also got another fertilizer (color me slow, I'm new to this fertilizer business...plus each one seems to be made only for certain plants)...it's an organic one...for the container fruit trees we have. I've only just applied it though, too soon to report yet.
