All sounds good. I was going to treat the pots after the plants had been pulled. Too late now to mess with anything light weight. I want them DEAD!! For next year. I will put the copper fencing around the pots before treatment to assure no new predators find their way in. Guess I might as well do the raised beds also. I think I have enough fencing for them too. I can just go light on the ends where I will fall sow some winter crops for germination in the spring.
thanks once again for 'all I ever wanted to know about (fill in the blank)!
