Square paving stones as digging barrier

[horstuff]

Thanks, all. I am going to do the wire idea, using hardware cloth. May not need it (chicken wire may suffice), but I will sleep better knowing there's no animal smaller than a bear that can tear it up.

If you have any spare asphalt shingles, that will work as well. Tack them to your base board and lay them flat and cover with a few inches of dirt.
