Mole ploughing

When you are mole ploughing do you drive back over the mole trench or do you leave it to settle itself over time?

I’d leave it for fear of pushing down a stone and blocking the mole. Interested to hear other people’s views on this too.

Deffinatly leave it alone....so mole ploughing only works in gley type soils that is sticky enough to form the mole....leave it a good 10 days for the mole to dry out and harden into a solid pipe and then run over it with a chain harrow to level any lumps on the surface
