    Going to take several weekends to finish. Beds will be fenced. I've had enough of the critters destroying everything.

    Those are very impressive raised beds. Let the woodchucks stand outside the fence and admire!

    Your excellent raised bed should be a source of gardening excitement for years to come. A few well placed signs saying KEEP OUT in woodchuck should deter the adventurous rodents.

    That's a great size for veggies,..top marks,..remember to keep a plank or something for walking or working in between veg when the soil is wet.

    Oh! woodchucks.......We got allot of havahart traps and the first year we trapped and relocated 18 of them....this year we got about 12 early in the year and none after that. Seems to have worked.
