I don't know any ways to remove the moles sadly, but if the I wants to protect the crops in future, the I could try digging a pit in the area the I wanted to plant with sweet potato, lining it with rocks and boulders to stop the moles from digging to the crops and then fill in the earth to plant the sweet potatoes. Mix the earth with compostable things and the I will enrich the soil as well. I've never had a problem with moles, but if I did, that is what I would try. I would hope they'd find it hard to get through the rocks.

I pray that helps the I.

Blessed love

Yes I

A rock layer on the bottom and sides of the garden is the best way to protect against underground pests. I suppose wire mesh would work if it is available. But since the garden is already producing, I referenced an organic gardening book and it says that castor oil sprayed around the garden may repel the pest.

Hope the I's garden will prosper again..

I don't have the book to hand, so I can't give the I exact instructions, but before I have used certain plants like natural tobacco that the pests can't eat, boiled down and left to steep in water for a month or more and then diluted and sprayed around the plants. I don't know if it would work against grasshoppers, because most of the pests I have here in England are a lot smaller, but it worked against caterpillars when I had a similar problem with them swarming I crops. I still had to wash them off with water and pick a few off, but the tobacco preparation kept them away after that.

Blessed love

It is probably not moles, moles don't eat vegetables.
