How to protect lawn from moles

Ah, as happens offensively when the lawn, remarkable, well-groomed, with ideally equal grass, suddenly for couple of days becomes similar to the polygon covered with hills of the earth, big and small. The grass under this soil polegat and if it was not more than a week of owners, then hopelessly rots, leaving careless yellow marks after soil cleaning. It was welcomed on the site by moles. If there is no special joy concerning such guests, will look how it is possible to avoid their invasion.

In case the plot owner wants to secure the lawn against visit of such inaccurate guests, then he has to undertake measures already at laying of the site under lawn. When the main planning works, the area of prokultivirovan are performed, it is leveled, on all site the special plastic grid from molesof is with an overlap displayed. It has appeared recently, but is already in demand for summer residents. Several types of such grids grids, with different the cell size are issued. All of them are made of the strongest polypropylene and as the producer specifies, ""have no life cycle limit"". The cost of such grid is from 100 to 135 rub / running meter.

Over grid the layer in 5 cm fills nutritious soil for lawn, is rolled and usually seeds of herbs are sowed.

Specially it should be noted that use of grid not only will preserve lawn from moles, mice and shrews, but also considerably will strengthen the turf if the grass is interplanted on slope, will protect it from washing out during flood or heavy rains. The grid laid under lawn will not give the chance to get to moles invaders on surface and to scatter heaps of soil and also to move ahead over the shelter as the layer of earth from above is rather thin. And how to arrive that who already has remarkable lawn which is exposed to ""attacks"" of moles from time to time? To really repawn lawn? Of course, no. Besides the grid from moles will help. Only now it is stacked in the trenches which are dug out on lawn perimeter (or the site) vertically. Depth on which the shelter is buried in soil there should not be less than 40 cm. Besides, the grid has to be above ground level on 20 cm as moles perfectly overcome small barriers. If to replace grid with high plastic border 50 cm wide, then it is possible to get rid not only of moles, but also of sprouts of weed vegetation from the neighbour's site.
