Controlling Garden Wildlife—Voles and Moles

Gardening in the Mountains presents:
Controlling Garden Wildlife—Voles and Moles

Phil Roudebush, EMGV

Learn about unwanted garden inhabitants—voles and moles—in this 30-minute video.  Phil describes the differences between these two garden pests, including their physical characteristics, habitats, and “dining” preferences.  He shares a variety of methods gardeners can use to minimize plant damage and make the landscape less hospitable to this nuisance wildlife.
