I want to plant an organic vegetable garden in my Dads back yard but he told me he put a bunch of gofer pellets into the ground. How do I work the soil to remove the toxins from the soil so I do not poison the vegetables. Any help would be much appreciated!!! Peace Lulu

Re: Question
Thu, July 10, 2008 - 6:40 PMWe used to have a gopher problem- many years ago. One of the old timer local gardeners gave us this tip- we buy a big bulk bag of daffodils in the fall, and plant them all around the perimeter of the beds, fairly close together- gophers don't like them, so they avoid the area. This worked when we were first married and gardening 18 years ago, and again this past year when we moved into a place with a large yard. We also used this when my mom was invaded by gophers a few years ago- they left and never returned.
Lovely daffies in the spring, and no gophers!
I don't know if it works everywhere , but it might be worth a try.
