Those gophers never saw it coming!!


Redwood...check.

Corner posts....check.

New dirt and compost....check.

Metal screen......check.

Don't those garden boxes look great. Ted and Lincoln did a great job. And those gophers are in for a challenge.

We have flooded, trapped, poisoned, and even blown up gophers trying to get them out of our yard. In retalliation they have mangled our grass, filled sprinkler boxes with dirt, and eaten new bush roots in our garden area. Well, this year we are trying a new tactic. We are trying higher garden boxes complete with screen lined bottoms to hopefully deter those little varmints from entering our garden domain.

I hate gophers, and I love my new garden boxes. If they don't stay out of our yard then we will have to let Jack loose on them.......ooooooh! Scary!!! :)

Good effort fellas! I hope this works. If it doesn't, may I suggest you check out "Fantastic Mr. Fox"? It might help deter any further escalation...those wild animals are...wild. Good luck!!

That's a really good idea. Is Lincoln using that for a cub scout project?
