If there was a General Election tomorrow who would you vote for?

The mole is the most persecuted animal in British gardens. And nearly always over a misunderstanding. 🐾

What the mole actually eats: earthworms, grubs, leatherjackets, slugs and small invertebrates. Never roots. Never.

The damage it gets blamed for — dead plants with their roots destroyed — almost always comes from voles, which are a completely different animal. The mole digs, but it doesn't eat your plants. The vole is the one that really does.

What the mole actually does in your garden:

It aerates and loosens the soil with its tunnel system, working as deep as 70cm down. It clears out beetle grubs and leatherjackets — the ones that really do eat roots. And it helps keep soil invertebrate numbers in natural balance.

The soil from molehills is quality stuff — fine, already worked, ideal as compost for pots and seed trays. Don't throw it away; collect it.

Worth knowing: Britain has just one mole species, the European mole, found right across the mainland. So if you've got molehills, this is your gardener underground.

Before you act, identify the problem properly. If the roots are being eaten, it's voles. If the lawn has molehills but the roots are intact, it's a mole. The remedies are different — and confusing the two means treating the wrong problem.

The mole works for you. Beneath your feet, every night 🌱

@AlanBry19418958 @L63875707Andrew @implausibleblog You'll never get an answer from Leavers.
They have none.

The vote to Leave was a emotion-driven 'I don't like foreigners in my country' thing.

[Jon Smith @jonsmith99]

@krassenstein Does it matter? The people who elected this guy TWICE are still around. They'll just elect someone similar.

[Jon Smith @jonsmith99]

@redial999 @JohnWight1 In London you do.

Probably wouldn't have if we'd had a Tory Mayor though.

[Jon Smith @jonsmith99]

@MumbrianSpinner @Danny_McMoomins He's a little in love with himself, don't you think?

@THPAC70 @OlenaRohoza I've been to Normandy and have seen the graves of US servicemen and we do remember the sacrifices made by America.

But we also know that the American public voted for Trump as President TWICE and we wonder how much we can trust America now..

@DrNeilStone My partner, born in 1961, was one of last NOT to get the MMR jab. She had measles as a child and is deaf in one ear as a result. She is otherwise healthy and always has been. R FK is nuts.
