Ok funny title ik but the situation wasn’t that funny. A while back I’ve noticed fresh tunnels popping up all around my raised beds, and at first I thought it was just moles. Turns out it was voles, because I kept finding half-eaten tomato roots and even my strawberry patch has been hit. I was so bummed… I’ve put a lot of work into this garden this season and it felt like I was just feeding them.
BUT I FINALLY BEAT THEM. Ok I’ve tried the usual stuff like snap traps near the beds, peppermint oil, even sprinkling cayenne powder and nothing worked. So out of desperation I ordered one of those repellers from Sonic barrier hoping it would slow them down and guess what. It worked wonders.
For anyone saying the sonic repellers do not work, maybe yours didn’t, but mine does. I’m so happyyyyy!!

Dr Yao at New Mexico State University bred these from jujubes she imported from China 7-10 years ago. She says the mutation is a jujube version of the “donut peach”. I picked a few from her trees a couple weeks ago. Tastes pretty good. Related to So cultuvar I think.
Makes me think of Mario Bros for some reason.
