Like 6 wheelbarrows of land it took me one day to load and unload (during last winter) to evacuate fifty mounds that had flourished in the space of a small fortnight barely of inactivity garden requires cold.

I then released the first mound of earth then I opened wide the hole to visualize the various galleries leading to the chimney ph scale or departing (the direction ph scale of movement of moles is not as codified as our roads!).
