If anyone has any tips for ridding ground hogs could you PLEASE let me know?  I have tried the heart traps, the .22 and gopher bombs.... the .22 works the best but unfortunately I am not home all the time!   What bait works good in the trap?  Those suckers are really smart, I swear they can see me move inside the house.
Also, I would like to know how most of you mow your orchards. Do you spray weed killer around the trees? I mow and would like to eliminate some of this chore and just mow one or two paths, but I do not own a tractor and mowing the really tall grass later in the season would be a problem. Any help appreciated!  Thanks, Lisa
