Hi Dave,

I live in an extremely hostile critter zone, and I put up a 2' high
chicken wire fence this year.  So far, nothing has touched the garden.
The small fence was the cheap way out, but I think the most consistently
damaging critters are rabbits and the fence work well to keep them out.
I didn't even put a gate in.  Just step over.  If deer wanted in, ...oh
well.
