Mole Hills have they stayed away?

I was a little scared about writing this post in case I jinx what has been a rather good year for the lawn in terms of no mole hills.

This time last year I wrote a post about trying some bulbs I had found that were meant to stop moles, as we had a a lawn that looked like this.

This was the post I wrote about how I planted the bulbs.

Molehill Trouble

We are now a year on and look at the lawn, yes it is full of moss and weeds and very little grass there are no mole hills.

I can not really believe it, I have not missed counting how many new molehills had appeared overnight and having to try and rescue the grass from underneath.

Not sure how long they are going to continue working and I did plant in a lot but so far so good. The packet said they should last 2-5 years I am thinking possibly 2.

I will keep a close watch and when the warm weather starts to be more predictable rather than the threat of the beast from the east mark 3 making an appearance, the lawn will be given some TLC by the gardeners who help us with the larger jobs. As lawns are not my strong point and we do not have the right tools. Though it is a job we do want to start doing ourselves in the future.
