We should think about protecting the stuff from the critters in the area. I know we had to put wire under our raised beds after the gophers ate all our stuff one year. Takes the little critters a while to find you, but once they do, you have to start over essentially, 'cuz they eat everything. This year, they're attacking my front yard - plants are disappearing right and left. We'd also want some of it fenced or something to keep the ground squirrels, etc. out...or maybe there's a better way to do these things...just wanted to get that idea out there. -Michelle
