@ Kate – I feel your pain! And I’m sorry. The twine wall just may be your solution though. Luck!

I revisited this because I’m having issues with *something* trampling my garden. It looks like fort knox right now. I’m madder than if some one stepped on my baby’s foot. I’m thinking my predators might be birds….which frustrates me to no end…

@ hailey – Thanks! I can’t believe how well it works!

@ Alex – That’s a great idea as well! I think my dogs would tromp right over stakes, but for smaller critters trying to get at the veggies themselves, I bet that works perfectly!

@ sarah – Where do you live that has groundhogs? That’s so cool! When I lived in SoCal I planted a whole bed of lettuces one spring, and within 2 weeks every single head had been pulled underground by a greedy gopher. I was so mad! =D

Great idea! My husband and I are putting up a large fence around our garden this week, but not for pets – to keep out the neighborhood critters that seek refuge in our “Nature Preserve.” We’ve already trapped and released two groundhogs (not getting my tomatoes!).

Good to hear about another Mac enthusiast!! I’m a graphic designer (www.creativeanomalie.com) and work strictly on Macs. Someday I hope to have the setup it sounds like you guys have… (But first, the iPhone ;)

The pictures seem to indicate that it’s effective, haha. I don’t have any dog problems due to being fenced in, but I do use wooden skewers to keep visiting cats out of the new (vulnerable) catnip. This may seem cruel, but cats are smart enough to stay away, and it works fine with the sharp ends buried.
