Look at Mel Bartholomew's squarefootgardening.com for some more helps. A freind introduced me to his method and I'm a fan. Make sure you fill your box with a potting soil mixture or you'll have to combat nasty weeds. p.s. I found some cheap potting soil at Walmart for $1.66 a cubic foot and then threw some compost, peatmoss, and perlite into it for some extra "veggie vitamins". <BR/>-Barmu.blogspot.comBar M Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901775293479233571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510042310763816457.post-57471255424412290762008-05-04T13:40:00.000-07:002008-05-04T13:40:00.000-07:00Hi Abby, It was a nice surprise to come across you...Hi Abby, <BR/><BR/>It was a nice surprise to come across your blog.

One thing you can do is put some tin plates or dishes on a post and when the wind blows, they scare the animals away.
