I built 6 raised beds in the back of our lot for edible gardening. It used to be a driveway so I was unable to amend the soil, so I built up. We used some oak barn boards that were left in the back of the lot. They’re fantastic.

Sorry, folks, I meant to say groundhogs, not gophers. My current garden has a 2 foot fence around it and the groundhog climbed over it. Not once but many times.
