Amending Compacted Soils
Landscape plants perform best in soils that contain pore spaces that allow water, air and roots to move freely deep into the soil. Ideal soil structure consists of 50% particulate matter, 25% available pore space for water, and 25% available pore space for air. The size and arrangement of various soil particles as well as the presence of organic matter and microorganisms are key factors in balanced soils and healthy roots. In many regions, soil types have been disturbed and compacted so that air and water movement is greatly reduced if not diminished.
VoleBloc is not a repellant or bait. It is a physical barrier system that protects bulbs and roots without restricting growth. The VoleBloc Barrier dramatically reduces vole damage while adding permanent aeration, improved drainage, and nutrient holding capacity to soils. We are talking about VOLES. Not moles.
Are your plants leaning or falling over because roots are being gnawed? Or are they mysteriously disappearing? If so, you may have voles. The pine vole, (Microtus pinetorum) is becoming a bigger problem in the landscape as increased development reduces their natural habitat and they become more adapted to our backyards.

THE KEY IS A SOLID PERMATILL-VOLEBLOC BARRIER BETWEEN THE ROOTS AND THE VOLES.
