Goodbye Voles

As some of you may remember, I had a problem with Voles getting into a part of my garden where I have not yet build a SFG box. I think they have also been responsible for the nibbling of my "low hanging" tomatoes.

Well they are not as plentiful as before! YEAH... thank you mother nature! We have recently seen a nesting pair of Harriers in our back yard and my dogs have been bringing me Owl pellets. There have also been an increase in hawks lately.

Thanks to their small animal eating habits, there has been a lot less crop damage. Also, for some reason (unknown) the raccoons have not yet attacked so we are enjoying a fairly animal free harvest season.

I was just so thrilled that I had to share!

How wonderful, Shoda! This is a testament to how marvelously nature can restore its balance. Thank you for letting us know!
