Our latest video shares our step by step process for how to install a gopher barrier. We added one to our existing raised bed recently and it is going to make all the difference.
Gophers are everywhere in our community garden, and while trapping them has helped slow things down, inevitably they come back right when veggies are ripe and ready to pick. Watch this video to learn how to fortify your existing raised beds to keep gophers from plundering your garden.
