The chicken wire might work, might not work. They're sneaky ***.

I was going to staple the bottom of the chicken wire to the 5x5's. I think it gives me a chance. we'll see.

Only suggestion I have with you making a box for your garden is make sure you've got good drainage.

I hadn't thought of that, thanks again. I'll update the thread with pictures & such when I get things going.

I prefer black plastic mulch. Its a season extender as well.
what kind of smelly hippy are you!?

cedar breaks down eventually and fertilizes the soil...

/revokes your liberal membership card
I am not a hippy. I am a beatnick. Hippies are non violent.

I get two extra weeks at the start of the season with black plastic mulch.

well I've got my border up & infilled, looks to be a ***load of rock removal & tilling in my near future.

with limited space do you people start plants inside then transplant when you know they are viable? or just throw seeds in the ground like a pilgrim & hope for the best?

(I'll post some pics once I get my tilling done)

nope. just had the 20' 5x5's hanging around at work, so I bought two 8' 5x5's notched the ends in half so they'd fit on top of one another, then ran lags through them.

Idk wtf I'm doing either though, so maybe look up how the pros do it.

Did you just lay them on the ground? Did you till the earth around them? Under them?

Running lag bolts sounds right, I imagine it being filled with dirt, means it ain't going anywhere.

Put em in about a month ago, they've since emerged and yesterday found their nearby stalks/twine. I'm getting about 3 inches of growth a day. I'm starting to get nervous actually. They can supposedly grow up to 30 feet and I'm unsure how to curb them once they get to 10-12ish.

O ya, sry.

tilled up the plot, then laid the timber down & lagged them together, then filled the plot, then tilled that again. planted last night. my plan for critter protection was this:

I spent the weekend working on the tactical stalemate garden & cleaning up in the yard. we got all of california's rain over the last few months & the god damned mosquitoes are thick. I need some motherfuckin' straight DEET to bathe in. those nasty little bloodsucking freaks. everything I planted seems to being doing well though, sans the carrots. I'm not sure what happened, maybe all the moisture drown them, or maybe I was too drunk & never planted them, but it was too late for speculation, & more appropriately it was time for action, so I dug up those two rows & re-planted with a healthy amount of potting soil. Those are two weeks late now.... I guess we'll see. I'll post more pictures when they grow more.

I gotta say, this global warming has been epic for our vegetable garden. We should have our first tomatoes this week, and we've already replanted radishes once.

sans the carrots
tips for carrots:
-very loose ground (make a dam if yours is too hard)
-don't plant on freshly manured ground
-25cm distance between the rows (2-5cm between the plants)
-if doing a mixed culture carrots are best teamed with allium-plnats like leek or onion)

As for time expectations: depends on the group which your carrots belong too. The quicker one is 3-4 months the other 5-6 months.

Every tip assumes you use normal carrots and not some genetic manipulated may-develope-into-a-monster kind straight from a research lab.
