Thanks Deborah and I am so glad we do not have mole rats/gofers.
I know that Eliot Coleman does in Maine USA, but I did not know they are in Europe too. His writing has some pointers to catching/control, he is min till rather than no dig, I believe.
I wonder if it’s like the common statement that “you dig in winter to expose pests and diseases”, which is so one-sided, because it ignores the harm caused by digging, to all the good soil life.
All I can say is, I would disturb your soil as little as you can, accept the losses as you suggest, and I think they will be no more than if you had tried to disturb the burrows.
Please keep us posted.
