Hello Dick. Glad to have you as a member of this forum. This reply should 
assure you that you
are on board (I manualy subscribed you myself after reading your email). Kevin Topek of Houston, another PC 
designer/teacher is here also and you might want to get in touch with him.

I am in Chapel Hill, NC on my 6 acre market farm.

I discovered I have a gopher on my property. I think he/she has a burrow 
under a small barn. Years ago I saw evidence of
tunneling at the edge of the barn but lost sight of the gopher until yesterday when I saw it sunning itself on top of a 
big pile of rock dust. As soon as I got close it scurried under the barn so I assumed it is using the tunnels it created 
years ago. How does this animal fit into the lush ecology of a biointensive market farm, comprised of  5 acres of raised 
beds?
