Default Building Astro Turf Track

Looking for some advice, we're in the process of building a permanent off road track, but having a a problem with moles under the astro turf track sections we have down so far.


What I would like to know is how people lay astroturf, is it straight onto soil or do you put a hardcore layer down first.

Does anyone have a mole problem, and how did you resolve it. Seems there are a couple of theories, basically they feed on the worms that are brought to the surface with astro turf, so use insecticide every year to kill the worms/food.

Other ideas are place someglass bottles in the ground so the wind causes vibration, and apparently moles dont like that. Other ideas have been kids plastic wind milles, again the vibration scares the moles away.

Any ideas.
