for all the suggestions. It wasn't voles unless they drive. We have had a lot of rain so the idiot left a track almost wiped out my new mailbox. Haven't had it in more than a week & a half. The voles might have been nibbling before or after the mushing that could explain the lack of roots
I will get SuperThrive & I did put some of the fans back in the ground in another spot I know at least one had a little piece of root on it.
