Keeping Critters Out!
I have a 4' by 10' raised bed garden and wouldn't you know it, the first ripe tomatoes (they were very close to the ground) got eaten by something before I could get to them. I guess I am going to have to put up some sort of barrier to keep stuff out. Any suggestions? What are you doing to keep animals out of similar gardens? TIA!

Re: Keeping Critters Out!
Chicken wire. I had bought some pretty fencing when I first built my raised beds, knowing full well there were openings large enough for rabbits to fit through, but I had never seen a rabbit in our yard so I thought I didn't have to worry about it. Clearly I underestimated the sneakiness of animals, so I gave up and added chicken wire on the inside of my pretty fencing.
I've also heard blood meal keeps a lot of critters away, but it adds nitrogen to your soil (which could either be good or bad depending on your soil), and I've been told it makes dogs go crazy and dig, which is why I haven't tried it yet.

this is what i did:

however, it doesn't prevent chipmunks from coming in.
Alternatively, you could put big posts on the corners of your garden (and in the middle if it's really long) and "hang" the chicken wire from that. Then, it would be removable.

here's some pics of ours, we used chicken wire and metal posts, plastic zip ties to attach them
