Took about 2 hours worth of digging and refilling.

A trench about 8 inches deep and 6 inches wide was dug and lined with chickenwire. The inside black iron looking trim was picked up at home depot for about $15.00 total, each section is 24 inches and snaps together. The wire is secured to the trim with zip ties with the top tilted in for the would be climber. the "V" fencing on the inside was just done as a sort of puzzle for them to figure their way in and out of. OK, thats lame.

The total length of the fence is 28 feet.







all dug in...



I don't care about all that nice lose dirt, I like my flower pot!!!



I have two zucchini plants in and am adding more eatables this weekend. I'm also getting a larger shade type potted tree/plant to add in for more shade. I'm thinking maybe a large fern??? The pen does get full morning sun and the first shadow hits around 11am or so.

Feedback?
