I was alarmed by Elkay's post. To set out to nuke a mole is a pastime of the Idle Rich. And by coveting your lawn, you drive a wedge between yourself and the Natural World. Moles have rights too...
I was also left feeling uneasy by sabjac's post. To buy a consumer gizmo with which to go weed-bashing is not to travel down the road to happiness. To love your weeds and to wish them well, is...
I routinely give you lot the benefit of my wisdom. You seem routinely to ignore it. It may be that you've spent a lifetime ignoring the wisdom of others. It's never too late to mend your ways, nor to take up naturism. I shall keep trying to help you, although I know that you're beyond help....

WE have moles.....they have excavated so much the lawn/grass is riddled with underground tunnels that threaten to turn your ankle. They have to go! JBC has purchased two lethal looking metal things,which take a weightlifter to set,and has proceded to set them where the mole/s used to be!! Male logic I suppose! Consequently nothing has happened and the mole/s have continued to tunnel in the other side of the garden. Annon 2 you are welcome to come here (naked or clothed) and talk to our moles,to persude them to upsticks and bugga off before the metal monsters do their worse. I'm just glad that I am not the one to de-mole the metal things as I reckon (if ever we catch any ) that it could be messy.

Oh dear! It does seem like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut...
Lawn-lovers everywhere! Soon the squirrels will be burying chestnuts in your sacred turf. So that they may survive the winter and have little, baby, precious squirrels next spring. What you gonna do, machine-gun them???!!!
ps: BC, there's a strange allure in your invitation to parade before you without clothes. I'm just not sure what JBC would say to me mooning about his lawn...

I love the little furry critters, but if you could see the grass you would understand. It is beyond a mess,it is devastated! You walk over it and sink into the tunnels! Then there are the tunnels nearer the surface which result in raised bumps usually 4 feet long. We have only ever seen one squirrel in 7 years,a red one,and it's acorns, not chestnuts, which are another problem! We have zillions of baby oak trees growing which for 3 inches of growth have 10 inches of root,very difficult to remove. There is a limit to how many oak trees you need in a garden. So you see Annon 2,it is not really a garden ,but a jungle filled with threatening wildlife and out of control vegetation. You would fit in well with your naked wanderings,and probably be invisible behind the moles and trees.

Do feel free to talk to them clothed or in the nude.

Oh dear! BC, does not the proliferation of trees tell you something??? That the lawn, a man-made contrivance, a monoculture in a diverse ecology, is utterly out of place, unwanted, unloved, by God Himself!
Get rid of the lawn. No longer be the victim of social convention. Wander naked amongst the trees, laugh at the titters of your neighbours, and know what happiness is!
Sabjac, thank you for your invitation to walk naked before you. I shall PM you when I'm next in France. Long trek though it is from Normandy, I feel that I am at last beginning to make progress and that I may yet be able to enrich your life before I die....
