Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

I have large molehills appearing on my lawn. My soil is very sandy and light.
are there any good uses for this fine light soil,composts etc, or will it contain too many weed seeds. more importantly does anyone know of a good way of discouraging the moles as they seem to be taking over.

The molehills should de ideal for mixing in with compost. You could try putting moth balls in their runs for the smell to deter them. If you water your lawn with a sulphate of ammonia mixture it will feed the grass and help to chase off worms which is what the moles are after.
