Destroyed in about 5 minutes. I almost feel sorry for the little buggers. The rain we got softened the faces of the trenches to where they can dig. But only about 4 inches in so that it has to stay very close to the face of the trench. This one particular gopher has figured it out and worked for about two days to go down the face of the trench across and a little bit back up the other side. I saw that it had been working yesterday, but didn’t have time to do anything. This morning I quickly found where it had gone down and across and literally broke the tunnel out with my fingers. The hardest part was taking the pictures of it :-) And it cannot just dig under the old tunnel, it has to try and find a new location. It has worked and worked and worked and worked to dig 10 feet of tunnel that I took out in 30 secs. I hope it gives up soon, I feel bad for it — but the plum tree it is heading for doesn’t. And the ground squirrel has learned to peel kumquats :-) Bob 310 429 8477 http://www.PuraVidaAquatic.com
