I will be building my raised beds this week and have a terrible problem with these underground creatures. The pocket gophers go especially deep and I know will eat everything from underground. Last year I watched my hosta shrink in front of my eyes! My question is this - is there something I can put down - hardware cloth, etc. and attach to my wood before filling with my compost that is safe to use under my vegetables. I was not sure on the hardware cloth/chicken wire if it would rust underground and cause issues with my vegies. Any advice or help would be so appreciated. My kids can barely wait to get started on this garden but I am not going to that much work to watch it all disappear.
