Our yard is a paradise. For...moles, that is.
So, when we decided to make our first raised garden bed, we had to find the right way to keep our produce safe from the little moles. This is how we DIYed our mole-proof raised garden bed.

We used Cedar planks & beams as it is a pretty resistant wood - against humidity and wood-boring bugs.
Dimensions:
Then we placed hardware cloth (NOT chicken wire and NOT landscaping cloth - if you are curious, you can read why, at the blog) and I stapled it firmly into place, making sure the distance between the staples was small enough to stop any mole.
We finished by adding organic soil, amended with compost and planted our first plants (also organic).
