Last year I built some raised garden beds and the plants did pretty well. Could have done better if I could keep the raccoons and rabbits out of them. Thinking about building some kind of cover but open to other ideas. What is the best way to keep the pests out?

I went from bad squirrel problems, to a bad rabbit problem. I’ve wrapped them with chicken wire, netting works too, but a pain to deal with, especially with the wind up here. Honestly, the best solution is to pellet gun.

Deer are my main problem. I just learned to accept it.

I trap squirrels. They are big nuisance. Birds are not as much of a problem. Over the years I’ve learned to just grow enough to share.

My family says we can't eat the bunnies that end up under the deck, so I behave... but the hawks take care of them in the end
