Holes in garden bed. Dastardly diggers lurk in the garden and strike under cover of soil. This is preferable for people with back pain or who have trouble bending, or for. A wire mesh set at least 15 cm (6 inches) under the ground and extending at least 75 cm (30 inches) above the ground protects your garden against tunnelling animals.

First there was a few in our raised garden bed, then i noticed they started appearing in backyard.
