Grass is Greener

I am building a raised bed garden and would like to know how tall a fence to use to keep out stinking gophers?

Sorry, folks, I meant to say groundhogs, not gophers. My current garden has a 2 foot fence around it and the groundhog climbed over it. Not once but many times.

Pondlady is correct…….gophers burrow. If you are building a raised bed with legs, then make it high enough so it won’t hurt your back when you are tending the box. If you are building a raised bed from the ground and using 2×12 or similar side wood, lay 2 layers of gopher wire on the bottom and staple or attach it to the side of the bottom pieces. Make sure there are no gaps in the wire cause those little buggers will find that hole!
