Moles- The Gardener's Friends

[poliphilo]

It has just dawned on me that molehills (of which we have a never-ending supply) are an excellent source of friable, aerated soil for use in plant pots. No need for heavy, back-breaking spadework- you just crouch down and scoop the earth up with your hands.

This morning I have potted up a curry tree, a couple of red-stemmed plants whose names I don't know and a clump of lavender.
