Lesley's Gopher-proof Raised Garden Bed


Lesley designed and built this bed, which is 4' by 10'-6".
How-to: First lay ¼" wire mesh on ground, then stack 2 layers of concrete blocks on edge of mesh. No fasteners. Fill both bed and blocks with soil, gophers can't penetrate. Can grow strawberries, parsley etc. in blocks. Front of this bed is filled with salad greens; arugula, radicchio, etc., which we've been having along with wild miners' lettuce for dinner these nights.

This looks so good and doable! I'm gonna do this in my tiny sunpatch - the only place my yard gets much sun as I'm surounded by huge oaks. Thanks!
