All about voles

Teaming With Microbes

This week, Jeff and Jonathan received numerous questions about voles and the damage they cause. Did you know that voles take refuge between the snow and ground during winter? They even create intricate tunnels equipped with kitchens, sleeping areas, and more. However, they can cause significant damage to your lawn, although they usually leave the roots intact.

Jeff highlights two harmful types of voles: those that can withstand water, and those that inhabit the tops of trees.

Later, the conversation shifts to seeds. Springtime in Alaska is an excellent time to start planting your seeds, especially indoors. However, there are specific types of seeds, such as peas and certain beans, that can be planted outdoors right now.

Lastly, the team addresses several listener questions, including one about using coffee grounds in the garden.
