How do you control weeds? I've heard about no till but don't really know how it works.I started doing the no dig/no till and realized it's very good to not destroy the living soil underneath

How does it work with row crops such as corn? I grow my tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant under lights but don't like the idea of corn, beans, and okra as well. Do you just cut long rips in the fabric for those?Heavy mulch either from hay or wood chips. We use a layer of manure/compost, then hay and then weed fabric. Eventually we will be able to get rid of the weed fabric, but it has proved to be absolutely amazing with beating down and killing the Bermuda.

I'm all ears on this one too. I've killed at least a dozen over the last 3 years using traps over their tunnels. Haven't put a dent in the populationBest way to get rid of moles survival of the mole is not a factor
I've been running over this bastard with the lawn mower and had him forced out of the yard but he came back this morning. Ultimately getting rid of grubs is the answer but I need this thing gone todayI'm all ears on this one too. I've killed at least a dozen over the last 3 years using traps over their tunnels.

Got any friends with a rabid terrier?Best way to get rid of moles survival of the mole is not a factor
You sure it’s moles and not voles? Anywho, I know you’re smart and went to the Wolf school, the spear traps are really the best as long as you’re not a member of PETAI've been running over this bastard with the lawn mower and had him forced out of the yard but he came back this morning.

A little light reading, they apparently love earthworms too! So killing them I guess is your only hope? Maybe try poisons??You sure it’s moles and not voles? Anywho, I know you’re smart and went to the Wolf school, the spear traps are really the best as long as you’re not a member of PETA
And I have had a Boston terrier kill a few also! As you said, they are rooting for the grubs, and can do quite a number on the ole turf/yard
I started doing that a few years ago and it does work wonders. I'm lucky that my garden gets flooded about once a year so it has tons of nutrients and the floods also push horse manure from the pasture next door. That said, I plowed last night and will till and add clover to most of it on Saturday.Finally had to break out the water hoses to get the clover started. Well can't handle a lot of watering all day, but I'm able to do sections at a time. What I started watering a week ago is already sprouted up.
A while back a community garden close by hired me to prepare an area for them that used to be briars, kudzu and brush. The dirt was 100% red clay, nothing useful.
I told them not to plant anything in the main plot I was working for 1 year. Over that first summer I planted nothing but crimson clover. Once it grew and flowered, I'd turn plow, till and plant more of the same. Went through 3 plantings. By late fall the dirt was already turning a nice brown color. I planted some sweet potatoes in this area the following year, never saw them any bigger even in stores.
Building soil through crimson clover is a proven method to build up a healthy soil environment.
So what's the secret to the spear traps and the tunnel I'm 0 for this weekI'm all ears on this one too. I've killed at least a dozen over the last 3 years using traps over their tunnels. Haven't put a dent in the population
Monitor their movement and patience. I've trapped one the next day and sometimes have left it there for a week before it worked.So what's the secret to the spear traps and the tunnel I'm 0 for this week
I'm planning to get a chair and a hammer Saturday and wait for a mistakeMonitor their movement and patience. I've trapped one the next day and sometimes have left it there for a week before it worked.
