Getting rid of gophers - 02/15/20 02:41 PM
Over the many years that I've been gardening, gophers have ravaged my plots many different times. Getting rid of the nasty beasts is always a challenge. I've tried drowning them, poison peanuts, and traps and have had varying degrees of success with each. A couple of years ago, in frustration, I tried using cannon fuse. (Can't use it during Burn Ban times, of course.) I water the area around the hole the gophers have created, take a short piece (6 inches or so) of fuse, lay it in the hole, light it, shove it down into the hole, then cover the hole. After a few minutes, I run a garden hose down into the hole and let it run for 5 minutes or so. I don't know if the fumes it kill them or just runs them off into gopherland, but it has worked every time. It's inexpensive and safe.
