    Hi Guys and Girls,

    At the age of nearly 63 I have had to take up gardening. Now that sounds as if I didn't want to! Not at all but I have a lot to learn and a big 'garden' to see to. Well actually more like a 50 yr old waste ground, that being the approx age of the bungalow my wife and I live in now and to call it a garden would be an overstatement. During the last few months I have been laying out/landscaping a 'garden' with the help of many new friends of the village where we now live but have 'unearthed' a problem, or maybe the moles have in the garden. Now this is a grey area (pun) and I would appreciate some advice so pse look out for my first post. Nice to meet you all.

    Willy

      :sign0016: to GC @William Francis lovely to have you join us!

      How exciting having a garden that you can do anything you want with! :hapydancsmil:
      My previous garden had an untouched area which we had great fun playing with (cut everything down; burned all debris; put ashes back onto the land; planned, plotted and had fun experimenting). Looking forward to reading about and seeing pictures of your progress.
