Show Me Your Pallet Projects!

had a rabbit problem and it was resolved with herbs and 5 hours of braising on the stovetop.

Sounds great!

We used to have dogs out where I live, but people moved away and currently nobody has a dog in the neighborhood. As a consequence, I can go out in the evening, look around the yard, and count a good half dozen to a whole dozen of rabbits in my yard alone. The chicken wire protective cages on the raised beds are enough to keep them out.

I see you have some chicken wire on panels on top of your raised bed. Is that for use as a trellis? Or, does it enclose everything like my cages? It's hard for my old eyes to see in the pictures how far the chicken wire goes...

There's no chicken wire over the top, but I think you're seeing the framework I originally put in place to attach the vertical wood framed chicken wire panels to. I no longer use those panels, but that framework has come in handy for attaching trellises to. Last summer I used it to support some boards across the top, over the peas, to provide them shade during the hot part of the day. Seemed to help extend the pea season.

The chicken wire on the end of the raised bed framework, well, I attached it to the frame with narrow crown staples. Mistake. Too much work to remove it so it remains. Otherwise it would be gone.

My deer fence is an eyesore but it works. The lower part is old fencing I found in the woods and some of the panels that I built to enclose the raised beds. The upper half is just several strands of rope that the deer can see. It works, so that works for me.
