sq ft cages

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

Does anyone here build the small cages to go over the individual squares
(to keep the critters out) - this idea being in the sfg book.  I got some
chicken wire, and went at it.  Never having worked with chicken wire, I
was intimidated by how flimsy it was.  I had these marshmellow sticks I
had made from saplings earlier in the spring, and I cut them up to give a
little support to the structure, sticking them a few inches into the
ground.  Wish I had read that far in the book last year when I tried to
grow corn!  I couldn't believe it one day when the crows got it all ...
and it had gotten several inches tall, too ... didn't think they'd want
it at that point!

I am curious as to whether anyone else is doing this (the cage thing),
and if so what materials are you using?  I am sure that I am way behind
you all ... being in upstate NY, and planting late at that!  I am very
excited to see my pole beans coming up, and can't tell the other stuff
... if it is weeds I am seeing or the seedlings.  The pictures on the
seed packages are rather useless to me.  I know the beets are up too.
