How to outsmart ground hogs?
My neighborhood has so many ground hogs that you can watch them in the summer eating grass. Every time I plant something they eat it off to the ground by the next day. I thought about raised beds but how high do they need to be?

we had this problem last year and we used large traps next to where they were coming in an out under our front porch. I think cantaloupe is the food of choice. ha.
