Dear Geophiles with mole problems, I have it on good authority ;-) from a fellow geophyte grower that the way to go to eradicating "moles" (mole-rats, rodent-moles) from your bulb patch is to grow Eucomis species as companions to your other bulbs. Eucomis are supposed to be universally disliked by cute burrowing animals with a penchant for soft, succulent geophytes. To test this hypothesis, I have planted several species of Eucomis in an area of my garden which is frequented by hungry "moles" which devour everything in sight, and will report back in due course on the efficacy of this method. Rest assured if it doesn't work, at least you'll have a lovely patch of Eucomis to show for your trouble (and no dead animals to contend with!). Tip: don't plant E. pole-evansii as a companion to your collection of rare miniature daffodils!
