I created a mole santuary near my base, probably close to 30 moles. Whenever I need nitre/rocks I just get my gold shovel and dig. The moles make a new hole after you dig theirs up, so you could just keep following one around if you wanted to - but having many of means it's much quicker. I can get 20 nitre in a day without much effort now.

It's better to not enclose them with walls since they will constantly dig against them instead of poking around. They don't travel too far from their holes so if they build a hole too close to base, I just wack them with the hammer and relocate them. This also makes it much easier to make the night vision googles!
