I am growing :

Does anyone know the ones that moles will or will not eat? If so than please let me know. I just started a big plot in a mole paradise. THANKS

I don't know if they'll eat them but...just by borrowing they can kill them. They uproot them as they burrow underneath. I have mole paradise in my yard and am constantly replanting/tucking back in, as they push them up. Most moles burrow looking for grubs not plants...rid your yard of grubs and mostly rid the moles...I haven't been succesfull at ridding either, LOL.

And where moles go vole follow and voles will eat a lot of your bulbs. Get a good mouser (cat). Milkyspore for the grubs, of course it will only kill the Jap beetle grubs, so still doesn't fully solve your problem. You can try castor oil poured into the holes. The Moles & voles don't like it. Planting Gopher spurge might help as well. This is a type of Euphorbia.
