Photo - Fenced in Vegetable Garden

This client lived in a rural part of North San Diego County along with many gophers and rabbits. The fence extends 12" below the grade.  Each box is lined at the bottom to prevent gophers from tunneling up.  Pavers along the walkways add another barrier.  Each bed has it's own water spigot so that the client will only water the beds with plants in them.
