"the wall"
Long time readers will know of my war with the gophers. The axis of evil of living next to a green space, no predators and having an evidently delicious front yard made it a no win battle. The allies, my gardener S. and myself, never had a chance and had lost all the battles.
Till now. We decided to go nuclear.....
We dug a 2' deep trench, 10" wide from the curb to the corner of my house. Then I filled it completely with rock and a thin layer of dirt on the very top. This effectively created a subterranean Great Wall of Rowdy.
Ok, Captain Obvious I know what your asking, "What's to stop the gophers from just walking into your yard?" Well, when I consulted two different pest control they said their fear of getting eaten keeps them underground.
What's one of my favorite novels by Joseph Conrad? Victory. Yeah, that's right, victory.
Actually, the thought never even occured to me that they might just walk into your yard. Not sure what that means?
