While this is a blast to play in the arcades for kids and adults alike; it is definitely not a fun game to play in the garden. Chasing moles and gophers down their holes can be frustrating indeed as you see the fruits of your labor disappearing along with them.
What is an organic gardener to do? How to you get rid of gophers and moles naturally without using poisons? That's where companion planting can come to the rescue. Planting daffodils, castor beans, and gopher plants (mole plant) are all toxic to gophers. The last two plants are toxic to children also, so do not plant these if children live on the premises. But daffodils are a very pretty and effective deterent to keep the moles away so you can enjoy the beauty and fruits of your harvest each season.
