Hi debcr. Welcome to WAB

Caper Spurge (Euphorbia lathyris) - often planted in gardens as it is supposed to repel moles. |

Ahhh - I am glad you posted that because you saved me a job. I've got it in my garden too.
How is it supposed to ward off moles? I have a friend whose mum has a problem with a mole at the moment .. they have a great big farm and the only place the mole wants to live is in their manicured lawn for some reason.  |
