Hi Folks. New here but have been gardening a bit. I just moved into a new place here in San Diego and it has an awesome place for Veggies, except the Gophers are extremely bad. I am going with raised beds and planter boxes and try to source everything for free.

Here is a 4X8 I built from bought 2x6 treated planks, I stapled Poultry wire to the bottom before filling.

I sourced a bunch of free Wooden crates from Craigslist yesterday and these are all getting drilled for drainage and will be placed this weekend and filled with a soil mix from a local Dairy:

Here are a couple of Potato bins I built: First layer is cardboard, then soil, then Potato slips, then potting soil mix and as they grow I will add straw and potting soil. These are open to the Gophers as potatoes are poison to them...
