The ones with straw had a lot of bug issues.

The wind ripped the tarps off in two years, so the hubby sheeted it with metal sheets. Works like a charm now. Hope you don't have that problem. There's no wind in TX, is there? ;)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116903234641971344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-57240142385337381082011-01-27T19:43:54.076-06:002011-01-27T19:43:54.076-06:00@WeldrBrat, LOL!

But we did manage to get a few trees pruned today. I've decided to go ahead and try putting in a raised bed for strawberries this year. Dwayne's setting up hot wire around the garden that the corn will be growing in. One way or another - that squirrel is gonna lose this year.
