Chicken wire is a good friend when growing outside

[desertdan]

My thought exactly. Chicken wire is more for varmints than it is for chickens.

Agree - some chicken wire would solve that problem. I also have some dog fencing that will work well (portable accordion style about chest high - like a dog crate without a floor or roof for a temporary enclosure). i am about to set it up outside around some potato grow pots to keep my smart alec dog from either using them as a stool to jump another fence alongside (crushing everything in the process) or from sticking his head into a pot and grabbing the potato shoots to pull the seed potato out of the ground when he wants me to chase him. I’m glad he isn’t interest in my weed plants!

EDIT just remembered, 3 or 4 years ago something managed to chew it’s way through some chicken wire to get into a vegetable garden. Chewed their way out in a different place. I have no idea what might have teeth that strong but I would suspect a ground hog.I can’t imagine a rabbit or skunk could do it and raccoons and other varmits could get in by climbing a wooden fence that makes up one side. Come to think of it, most animals would be inclined to climb over or dig under the fence so I am really uncertain what might have done it. It was before we got our dog.

I used to have a huge problem with racoons eating my vegetable garden and fruit trees in one of my previous homes. I bought a couple of motion activated rainbird type sprinklers and they worked like a charm.

Yes if you can make/put a very wide circle of chicken wire with steaks around outer area. One of our neighbors uses live traps and moves the squirlles and other critters to a different area. I don't seem to have much of a problem with them. Our dogs and cats chase them off.

I've live trapped a few in a havaheart trap. Really fresh hay as bait. Moved them to another area. Think it's illegal to move them but it's better than killing them.
