Re: Raised bed & puppy

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi,

A few weeks ago I posted for advice about how to keep a cat out of my raised 
beds. The same technique might keep your puppy out. Here's what finally worked:

I bought some black 1/2" mesh bird netting at Home Depot, cut a piece big 
enough to cover the bed with some overlap, and stretched it tightly over the 
top of the wood edges of my raised bed. The netting is held in place by the 
screws that I drove in to the tops of the wood edges of the beds. The key is to 
stretch the netting tightly. I haven't figured out how I will raise the netting 
once the plants get taller, but at least the seedlings are safe for now.

Good luck!
