Stop Those Terrible Gophers and Moles Holes

Are you fed up with the obscene amount of damage to your landscape due to moles and gophers damage?

So you’ve got a mole problem, or perhaps a gopher problem, and are searching for the best solution. Well, let me tell you, you have a daunting task at hand. Once you begin looking around for mole and gopher solutions, you will find that they are a plenty. In fact, there are so many, each promising to be an exacting solution that your head will be spinning after just a few minutes.

If you are like most people, you will purchase a few of the most popular products that promise to rid your yard of these pests with just a few shakes of these magic pellets, or possibly a quick spray of that magic mole repellent. Or perhaps you went for the worm-like mole bait or the mole gas bombs. Well, I can tell you that your results will be just like those thousands of other folks who are in your shoes, and still fighting the battle with their moles and/or gophers.

You see, the problem is that because moles and gophers create such a disaster in yards and gardens across this country and others, the producers of these fine products that don’t work, see you as an easy target. I can tell you from experience because I also was once in your shoes. Note that I used the phrase “was once”, because I am not any more. After spending hundreds of dollars each year trying to solve my mole dilemma, I finally devised a simple process that worked. Not only does it work, but it works every time.

The truth is that there are some effective products on the market, but in order to get the results they claim, you have to know exactly how to use them; and some are quite difficult as well as time consuming. Let’s talk for just a moment about mole traps. Mole trapping is widely accepted as one of the best methods for mole control. However, for anyone who is not a professional mole trapper, how do you know which mole trap is right for you? Did you know that there are currently over 60 varieties of mole traps on the market? Here is a list of just a few of the more well known mole traps and gopher traps:

  • Victor Mole Trap
  • Nash Mole Trap
  • Plunger Mole Trap
  • Choker Mole Trap
  • Mole Eliminator Trap
  • Choker Loop Mole Trap
  • Ground Mole Trap
  • Scissor Mole Trap
  • Black Hole Mole Trap
  • And the list goes on and on…

So if you are considering trapping your moles or gophers, where do you start? My suggestion is to skip past the expensive discovery process where you end up buying 5-7 different traps and many other gimmicky products, sprays, granular, poison worms, insecticides, and end up pulling your hair out standing over a mole hole for hours with a shotgun. And… take advantage of the fact that I already went through all of that and now have a perfected process where I can show you exactly how to get your mole or gopher every time, with just a few minutes work, without spending more than a few bucks total. I not only tell you how to do this, but I also show you on video exactly what I do. I can tell you that I have been able to help a lot of people quickly elininate their mole and gopher problems for good.

If YOU Want to stop wasting your hard earned money and time on pest control solutions that don’t work, then Ultimate Mole Control is Definetly For YOU!

Stop wasting your time and money, and take a look at my Ultimate Mole Control e-Book and Video Tutorial right now.

In his foreword to the book, the author states that this edition represents the largest and most concise body of work that he has accomplished on the subject of hydroponics.

“So much has changed as technology and man’s understanding of the science has progressed over the years, that I felt compelled to produce this new edition to keep my readers up to date and to further inspire others to give hydroponics a try. How-To Hydroponics  has been written in an easy style that combines a basic yet comprehensive background in the science of hydroponics with the hands-on experience that makes learning fun.

Whether you grow for fun, food or profit, this completely revised edition covers everything you’ll need to know to develop a working knowledge of the technology.”

Contained in the pages of How-to Hydroponics is everything you’ll need to know about establishing and maintaining a successful soil-free garden, for example, the balance between lighting and nutrients and
the chemical changes that occur in the growth process.

Well written and simple to follow, the book provides valuable tips on how you can grow twice a much in half the space while you learn hands-on at your own pace. Plentiful information is provided about which plants to grow, how to start seed and take cuttings to preserve, and how to propagate your favourite plants as well as what makes plants grow, and how to create the perfect garden

Step-by-step plans and photographs guide the reader in learning to construct and operate eight basic types of hydroponic systems from inexpensive material, representing considerable savings.  Up-to-date information about the latest technology and techniques is presented, including a section on aeroponics.

Following is one reader’s review: “Keith Roberto does an
excellent job covering all of the basics of soil-free gardens.This

knowledge of the subject…I am looking forward to having a yearround
fresh salad garden grown in my own garage!” Quote from Amazon.ca

Two other readers found the book a perfect guide to help in
the construction of a hydroponic unit for their high school:”We
were very impressed with the thoroughness of the instructions and
the relative ease of assembly involved.We did tons of research
about hydroponics for our experiment and scientific paper, and yet
we found ourselves constantly referring to your book for a solid,
basic understanding of hydroponics and the chemistry involved.” Quote from Amazon.ca

For best results, the author advises, it is recommended that readers use the book in the order it has been written so as not to miss any important information that could sacrifice the quality of results. “Take the time to read the book entirely before beginning any type of planting or construction,” says the author. “The  important information within will certainly affect your decisions of what, where and how to grow, and it will ultimately improve your
chances for success.”

How To Hydroponics, the 4th Edition, is an in-depth guide that contains every ounce of knowledge you will need to be successful with hydroponics, with even a full chapter on how to make a market for your garden for those who wish to carve out their own slice of a very lucrative gourmet marketplace.

Gopher and Mole Garden Pest Solutions

Care for Long Stem Roses

Widely considered to be the most popular roses for all occasions, what many people think of as classic long stem roses are in fact Hybrid Teas. A mixture between the Hybrid Perpetual and Tea Rose from China, these long stem beauties have long pointy buds with up to 30-50 petals per bloom.

Since the first discovered Hybrid Tea in 1867, there has been an explosion leading to thousands of long stem varieties coming in virtually every color except for blue or black. These long stem roses tend to flower continuously and can grow 2-6 feet tall. High susceptibility to disease and less fragrant smell, when compared to other types of roses, is often attributed to the great deal of inbreeding that has taken place to achieve the attractiveness of long stem roses.

Keep your long stem roses growing tall.  When planting your long stem roses, be sure to select an area where they will get 6 hours of sunlight and good air circulation.

Do hard pruning in the late winter or early spring just as new growth begins. Remove old damaged canes from the center to let in fresh air and sunlight, leaving the thick healthy ones forming a circle on the outside. Cut the remaining stems to 12-24 inches and fertilize in a few weeks time.

To protect during harsh winters, tie the canes together and mound with soil. Surround the mound with insulating materials such as leaves or straw and shelter with a cylinder, perforated with breathing holes.

Adopt a regular spray program to protect the roses and their leaves from disease.

Give your long stem roses lots of water!

Adding Water Features to Your Garden

There is nothing more relaxing than taking a break from gardening and settling down beside a gently splashing waterfall. However, it is not as soothing to think about the expense and back breaking labor it may take to install a full blown pond into your landscape. Also, the maintenance is not enjoyable to some people. There is an alternative! Water features do not have to be massive to have the same effects. If you have an interesting urn or basin, you’ve got what it takes to create your own low maintenance, inexpensive garden pool.

Begin with your container. Be creative when selecting a container. Don’t limit yourself to what you have already seen. Anything that is or can be waterproofed can work. Whiskey barrels, troughs, birdbaths, lotus bowls, your college ceramic project, basins, wooden boxes…almost anything goes! When choosing a container, keep in mind what you want to put in it. Research the plants you like and be sure your container is deep enough to house them. Plants like water lilies need at least 5 inches of water above the top of their pot, while floating plants like water hyacinths and water lettuces can be grown in a salad bowl! Do you want fish? If so then your pot needs to be large enough to house a small pump and filter set-up in order to keep your fish at optimum health.

The easiest route is to choose one that is already waterproof. Plastic, ceramic, or concrete containers without drainage holes are ideal. They require little to no alteration to get started. (Keep in mind, though, that if you live in an area where water freezes solid in the winter, concrete may crack.) Even wood boxes will work when lined with a EPDM liner. These liners are fish-safe and are available at home centers and aquatic gardening shops. You can also find a brush-on sealant made specifically for aquatic gardening.

Filters and pumps are only absolutely necessary when you have fish, but a small pump with a bubbler or fountain will not only make you garden more aesthetically pleasing, it will also keep it healthier by oxygenating the water. Before shopping for a pump, determine how many gallons of water you have and how fast you want to move it through your fountain, if applicable. Pumps, fountains and filters can be purchased at home centers, garden shops, and some pet stores.

Once you install your pumps, filter and fountain, you’re almost finished! After filling with water, let the garden sit for about two weeks to allow the chlorine and chemicals to dissipate. You can hurry this process along by adding a dechlorinator. Then you can add your plants. Choosing a variety of plants will make your feature more interesting. Look for different heights, colors, and textures.

You can also add your fish at this point. Smaller goldfish, like shibunkins, comets or fantails do well in containers as long as they have adequate oxygen, water quality and shade so that they do not overheat. All that is left to do now is to find a comfortable seat and place it nearby so that the next time you’re exhausted from weeding you can plop down and relax while you enjoy the soothing sounds and beauty of your new garden.
