Did someone order rain!?
It’s great to see a bit of green returning to our arid lands, but unfortunately softer ground means a return of the moles…
Moles appear on lawns after a dry period because rain softens the parched ground and encourages their primary food source - earthworms - back up toward the surface.
Moisture allows for easier tunneling too: dry soil becomes packed and hard, making it physically difficult for moles to dig. Rain turns the lawn back into soft, workable loam that allows for fast tunneling and the creation of fresh molehills
Great for moles…
Not so great for gardeners!
