  • 1.  Critter Abatement Cages

    Happy new year, folks!

    At one our new school gardens, all the plantings got demolished by critters, and my money's on squirrels. 

    So I'm looking for ideas for critter abatement. I like they idea of boxes built over the beds, rather than hoops because we can fit tall crops (tomatoes, etc) under them. 

    I'm also looking for a solution that's easy for elementary-aged kids to access, maybe similar to what I have in the photograph, but with hinged doors or something.

    Any ideas for designs?
