That should help. If you see signs that they're digging farther out than that you can augment from there. And set additional traps in those areas. You might want to bury it an inch or two; the wire fence around my garden is a bit slapdash and is absolutely incompatible with my lawnmower, so I'll be edging it with bricks or lumber or something. If you have a drag harrow, or even a landscape timber with some spikes poking out the bottom, you should be able to churn up the top layer of dirt enough to bed the wire fence deep enough to protect it from lawn equipment.Do you guys think a 2 foot border of 1"x1" fence on the ground is enough deterrent to keep critters digging under and getting in? Or do I need to go down ? I've got 3 feet of 1"x2" welded wire fence around the outside or the pen, chicken wire up and over the top.
