Can’t they just dig under the fence?

 Yeah, I saw the comment about digging under the fence.  From reading the blog, it seems deer are the apex vegetable predator right now; so that has to be dealt with first.

 Rabbits, moles, voles, etc... may need to have some buried fence line.
 What I did with mine was to dig a trench about eight inches deep and approximately the same width.  I took 18" chicken wire and bent the bottom to form an L shape with the horizontal portion pointing away from the garden.

 The idea is that when an animal comes to the fence, their instinct is to dig down to get around the obstacle.  After all that digging, they then encounter the bottom flange of the chicken wire and rather than dig "backwards" (as in away from the food source), they just give up.

 It is a ton of work to add this extra layer of protection; but once done, you have years and years of protection from all sorts of burrowing evil.

Am I the only one who has issues with chipmunks? I have three, count'em three, layers of different sized wire fencing wrapping my garden. The chipmunks seem to be able to go through the smallest holes. They have eaten all my strawberries, and destroyed two beds of mature garlic by burrowing under the raised beds. I have taken to setting rat traps for them. I caught three, but the rest of them are avoiding the traps now like the plague.
