@pod that's a darn good point! I will avoid using that stuff in the beds and use boiling water, never would have even thought about that! We used gas a couple times that was fun
@kittriana I could only HOPE deer would come up on our property. They are more on the side outskirts of the neighborhood but who knows maybe the garden will draw them in? Ya I agree with the spacing between beds. My wife wanted them closer to squeeze more beds in. I wonder if the vines on the ground would rot the fruits during heavy rains though. You got quite the science to your gardening that is way awesome. I'm pretty sure I'm following you. You mean roots from trees growing up into the raised beds? Any problems with squirrels??? I'm getting a hunch that growing gardens attract all sorts of unwanted creatures that my not be there in the first place.
